National Info Day on the Innovation Fund
Algemene info
Waarover gaat het?
This event will bring together key stakeholders from industry and public authorities to discuss opportunities under the Innovation Fund, one of Europe’s most ambitious programs for supporting innovation in clean technologies.
In the afternoon, participants will have the unique opportunity to join one-on-one dialogue sessions with representatives of the European Commission. These sessions are ideal for discussing your project ideas or seeking tailored guidance. The dialogue session can be conducted in either French or English. Please note: Appointments for these sessions are mandatory and must be booked in advance. If you want to schedule an appointment, please indicate so in the registration form. Projects applying for these bilateral sessions need to be sufficiently mature and be looking to apply preferably in the IF25 calls or next Innovation Fund call. The organizers will contact participants afterwards to ensure this condition is fulfilled. Please note that the organizers reserve the right to refuse participation to any individual or organization to the different parts of the Infoday. Please note that all presentations will be delivered in English to ensure broad accessibility to participants from diverse backgrounds.
