Open Calls

To bring ideas to life, LDT4SSC is launching three rounds of open calls to fund and support 15–20 pilot projects across Europe.

These pilots will focus on critical areas such as resource management, climate resilience and energy efficiency, developing AI-driven services tailored to local needs.

By connecting solutions across sectors and borders, the pilots will help create a unified digital ecosystem that can be scaled and replicated across Europe.
