I think SailfishOS and could be promoted and further developed in a Horizon 2020 project. A consortium including Jolla could submit a proposal, I think it would raise interest, Jolla has been around long and is credible enough.

A proposal would likely need to focus on innovations like IoT, Blockchain, Smart Cities etc. or whatever buzzwords are needed to be considered innovative and eligible for research funding these days. A proposal needs to match expectations of specific calls.

There is a huge overhead in running H2020 projects and maybe the Jolla team doesn't have the experience. So they likely need a partner to help with that. Shouldn't be too hard to find one in the Finnish tech scene.

(Not much related to Sailfish X for XA2 but an interesting discussion).
