The event provides a platform for direct interaction between representatives of science, industry, public administration and innovation support organisations. Its objective is to facilitate cooperation, knowledge exchange and the creation of partnerships that can form the foundation of future European projects.<\/p>
Since 2022, the Industry Contact Points have actively supported Polish organisations in strengthening their capacity to participate in Horizon Europe. Working closely with companies, research institutes and universities, they help identify funding opportunities, develop project competencies and establish relationships with partners across Europe.<\/p>
One of the most important elements of this support is creating networking opportunities during major business, technological and scientific events. The Horizon Europe Matchmaking Event at CETEF\u201926 is a perfect example of this mission in action. It is a place where ideas meet expertise, and where conversations can evolve into international consortia addressing some of Europe\u2019s most pressing challenges.<\/p>
