The European Commission is organising its first Mission Soil Investment Forum, taking place in Brussels on 30 June 2026.

The Horizon Europe Mission A Soil Deal for Europe is driving the transition to healthy soils and sustainable soil management by establishing 100 Living Labs and Lighthouses by 2030, while advancing innovation, knowledge, and stakeholder engagement across land uses and regions. 

Achieving this ambition requires stronger business models, clearer market pathways, and greater public and private investment.

To support this, Mission Soil Investment Forum will bring together policymakers, investors, businesses, researchers, financial institutions, philanthropies, and practitioners to strengthen soil-health investment conditions in Europe. 

The Mission Soil Investment Forum aims to become a leading stakeholder engagement and market-building platform by:

1. Raising awareness and strengthening the investment case for soil health
2. Building a pipeline of investable opportunities
3. Showcasing scalable and replicable business models and investment projects
4. Fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and partnerships
5. Supporting policy dialogue and enabling finance frameworks
6. Presenting Mission Soil actions and initiatives in this area
