Net-Zero AI4Permitting (PPPA-2026-NETZERO) - European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Net-Zero AI4Permitting (PPPA-2026-NETZERO) Reference PPPA-2026-NETZERO Publication date 1 April 2026 in the Funding and Tenders Portal Opening date 1 April 2026 Deadline model Single-stage Deadline date 9 June 2026, 17:00 (CEST) The call for proposals is aimed at local authorities involved in industrial permitting procedures.
These procedures typically encompass a range of permits necessary for ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, and operational standards. Examples include Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for projects with potential environmental effects, Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) permits for pollution management, and various construction and operational permits.
The direct award will focus on supporting local authorities located in net-zero acceleration valleys within coal regions, as outlined in the Net-Zero Industry Act. The primary objective is to enhance the administrative capabilities of local permitting authorities in managing permitting requests.
This will be achieved by supporting the procurement or development of AI-based systems, or, in exceptional cases, systems based on other digital technologies, to meet the new streamlined permitting requirements under the Net-Zero Industry Act. We organised an online informative webinar on this call for proposals on 13 April 2026.
