Working closely with companies, research institutes and universities, they help identify funding opportunities, develop project competencies and establish relationships with partners across Europe.<\/p><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.
