There exist several tools and organisations that can help you to find the right partners for your Horizon Europe or Digital Europe project.

NCP Flanders Partner Search Service & Your NCP

NCP Flanders provides an overview of partner search requests received from stakeholders abroad. You can access this service here. The partner searches listed on this page have not been widely published and should not be further spread. These partner search requests are published as received, NCP Flanders does not vouch for the quality of these requests.

NCP Flanders has for each domain in Horizon Europe and for Digital Europe a dedicated advisor that is familiar with the ecosystem. If you are a stakeholder based in Flanders and would like to launch a partner search request please contact the NCP advisor responsible for your domain.

Funding & Tenders Portal

Also the Funding and Tenders portal has a partner search section. This is rather closely connected to the different call topics, and the list is often more crowded with consultants than opportunity seekers. But you surely can find some potential cooperation gems...

You can as well launch a search through the results platform of the F&T portal. It is not clear at the moment how connected both services are, so it's not a bad idea to check both!

Country eligibility check

Before entering a consortium for a Horizon Europe project, use the NCP Flanders country eligibility tool to check that all partners are eligible to participate and/or receive funding, especially when collaborating with partners from non-EU countries.

 

Testimonial

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
