Source: Enterprise Europe NetworkFor the ninth time, the conference invites researchers and entrepreneurs from North Rhine-Westphalia and regions in Europe and beyond to find new research and innovation (R&I) partners for Horizon 2020 projects. The series of events has been a great success with over 2300 participants since 2009. In 2018, special partner regions are: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Israel, the Netherlands and Poland.
We expect about 300 delegates from Germany and abroad who are interested in establishing new international contacts for future H2020 research and innovation projects or in commercializing existing H2020 results. The event first took place in 2009 and has since attracted a total of over 2,300 participants.

Opening keynotes by the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia and a representative of the European Commission will introduce Horizon 2020.
