Though strictly speaking not related to Horizon Europe nor Digital Europe, this event could turn out to be one of the best brokerage events you'll see in 2024 in the (broad) field of Software Innovation. ITEA hosts topics in the domains Smart Cities, Smart Communities, Smart Health, Smart Mobility, Smart Industry, Smart Energy, Smart Engineering and Safety and Engineering. More info can be found in ITEA's Living Roadmap.

This event is the stepping stone to jump-start the preparations for projects that will be submitted for the ITEA Call 2024. This is a transnational call, meaning that every organisation has to request funding at their local innovation agency - in Flanders this is VLAIO. More information on the VLAIO website.

This type of (Flemish R&D) funding could be of interest for you. But even when that is not the case, you could consider participating as this is one of the places to be to meet existing and new R&D players in the field of Software Innovation this autumn.

Next to the Brokerage event, an efficient online tool set has been created for you to shape project idea(s) and to help you identify potential project partners to build consortia.

• In the Project idea tool (login required), project ideas can be uploaded and viewed.
• Via the Partner search tool (login required), you can search for a specific expertise and invite interesting potential project partners to join your consortium.

More info & registration via the event website.
