The EU State aid rules have shifted over the past decade. From traditionally placing tight limits on targeted investment aid, the State Aid framework has now been adapted to give Member States more room to support investments in innovation, the green transition, and strategic industrial projects.

Key Takeaways

  • The Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) was adopted and became applicable on 25 June 2025 and remains in force until 31 December 2030. It makes part of the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework (TCTF) permanent and widens the range of aid options and eligible technologies.

    Uptake of schemes under the CISAF is uneven: 16 Member States have obtained approval for a total of 32 aid schemes under the CISAF, with Spain, France, Italy and Austria accounting for half of the approved schemes. Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic States are among the countries with no scheme approved so far.
