Launching the Next 250 Years of American and European Innovation and Growth: The U.S. Mission to the European Union’s commemoration of America’s 250th birthday aims to showcase America’s rich history and honor U.S.-EU contributions to global peace, security, and prosperity. Proposed projects should celebrate U.S. history and innovation among EU audiences and advance relations and economic growth between the United States and the EU. Examples of priority issues and sectors are trade, technological innovation, energy, critical minerals and defense. Now through the end of the year, chosen grantees will work with influential EU civil society, government, private sector, business, and industry leaders to showcase Freedom 250-themed success stories or build people-to people ties with EU institutions to advance or drive growth in priority areas. Through these activities, grantees may develop and highlight stories, policies, research, and opportunities to support U.S. and joint U.S.-EU initiatives and policies related to but not limited to trade, technological innovation, AI, energy, critical minerals, security and defense, or other critical fields that have made the United States and Europe stronger, safer, and more prosperous.
