42 pilot actions approved

We closed the call for pilot actions for the first call projects on 15 April 2025. This week, the Interreg Europe monitoring committee approved 42 pilot actions.
See below a few charts representing these pilot actions.
Number of approved pilot actions by topic
26 first call projects will implement pilot actions in five of the six topics supported by the programme.

Testing new approaches in many different regions
54 project partners from 15 countries will implement the pilot actions in their regions. They will test new approaches inspired by good practices shared by other project partners and by the lessons learned from the projects.

Focus on improving policy instruments
The project partners will implement their pilot actions within one year. They will find out whether the lessons learned from the pilot actions can shape and improve their policy instruments.
There are 47 policy instruments addressed by the pilot actions; eight of them are Investment for jobs and growth goal programmes.
We'll be reporting on the success stories of the pilot actions on our website.
You can find all pilot actions on the projects' websites in the Policy instruments section.
