The official budget of Horizon Europe 2021-2027 is €95.5 billion, slightly higher than the €90 billion claimed (the MEP rounds the figure down by about 5.5 billion).
The €90-95.5 billion allocation covers the full seven-year programme period 2021-2027, which began before the start of the war (February 2022); it is not an allocation made specifically 'since the start of the war', as the temporal framing suggests.
The €10 billion for start-ups corresponds to the European Innovation Council (official budget €10.1 billion under Horizon Europe 2021-2027), which supports start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs.
'Forschungs- und Innovationsfonds' is not an official EU fund name; the closest match is Horizon Europe, the EU's research and innovation framework programme.
The exact speech transcript could not be retrieved to confirm precisely which period the MEP's phrase 'im gleichen Zeitraum' referred to.
