Call EUREKA Globalstars with Japan 2026 - 2027

Wednesday, 7 October 2026

This call aims to promote the generation of R&D projects in international cooperation between companies from Japan and the Eureka countries interested in participating in this call, including Spain.

Like all Eureka projects, the proposals should aim to obtain an innovative product, process or service oriented to the market and for civil use. The expected start date for the implementation of the project is 1 August 2027.

The consortiums must be composed of at least two independent companies, a Japanese medium or small unlisted company* (with its main R&D work centre located in Japan) and another company from one of the Eureka countries participating in the call, for example, a Spanish company.

Each project must involve at least two countries whose participation must be relevant and, in no case, any of the countries in a proposal must make more than 70% of the project budget. On the other hand, the budget must be consistent with the developments to be carried out and with the technical and financial capacity of the participants.

In this so-called Globalstars with Japan, the approved proposals will be endorsed through the Eureka seal which, in addition to being a promotional element and recognition of the technological level of the proposal, in the case of this call makes it worthy of public funding. Each country will assume the financing of its participating entities.

In the case of Spain, the projects will be financed through the CDTI tools for R&D projects in international collaboration.

Be aware of the next information that we will publish regarding the specific requirements of the call and the procedure to follow for the presentation of proposals.
