For the eighth time, the conference invites researchers and entrepreneurs from North Rhine-Westphalia and regions in Europe to find new European research and innovation (R&I) partners for Horizon 2020 projects. The series of events has been a great success with over 2000 participants since 2009.

In 2017, special partner regions are: Belgium, Finland, France, Israel, the Netherlands and Poland.

The networking event will be structured in parallel brokerage sessions focussing on seven topics:
– Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
– Energy
– Nanotechnology, Materials and Manufacturing (NMM)
– Sustainable Economy
– Life Sciences
– Transport
– SME Instrument

The event addresses especially universities and research institutes and small as well as medium-sized enterprises. Participants are invited to become involved in established and new technology networks between researchers, entrepreneurs and multipliers related to Horizon 2020. Giving a short presentation (ideas and/or results) or finding a partner by talking to decision-makers opens doors for new research and innovation projects in Europe with a focus on Horizon 2020.

Conference fee: € 120 (€ 95 one day) per person including VAT. Free participation for speakers in sessions 1 to 5.
