Flanders’ seven spearhead clusters (SPCs)—Biovia, De Blauwe Cluster, Catalisti, ENT.A, Flanders’ FOOD, Flux50 and VIL—are launching the Intercluster cSBO Project Call 2027. For the year 2027, a maximum of two intercluster cSBO applications will be selected for full proposal development and submission to the funding agency (VLAIO). This new call process ensures equal access for all consortia.

cSBO projects
cSBO funds ambitious strategic basic research conducted by Flemish knowledge institutions in collaboration with industry
stakeholders. The aim is to develop breakthrough knowledge
and technologies that can form the basis for future innovations, strengthen the competitiveness of Flemish companies and
address major societal challenges.
Supporting cluster Roadmaps
This call is a close collaboration among the seven SPCs with the goal of initiating intercluster projects that offer significant added value to the relevant clusters and their members. Approved projects will support the clusters’ innovation strategies, taking the cluster Roadmaps a step further.
