ProgrammesThis online brokerage event focuses on Horizon Europe Cluster 4, Cluster 5 and related Cluster 6 topics. It is designed to help participants present project ideas, find European partners and prepare collaborative R&D and innovation proposals through pitching sessions and bilateral meetings.
The 13th edition of KETs2026 reloaded is organised by the German National Contact Point Digital and Industrial Technologies, French NCPs at Bpifrance, Enterprise Europe Network partners Steinbeis Europa Zentrum and Grand Est Développement, and related NCP networks. The event covers Horizon Europe Cluster 4 topics in industry and digital, Cluster 5 topics including batteries and hydrogen, and industry-related topics in Cluster 6.
The programme includes four thematic pitching sessions on manufacturing, circularity and energy-intensive industries; raw materials and advanced materials; artificial intelligence and ICT; and energy storage and bioeconomy. The event also offers long-term matchmaking from 24 September 2026 until the end of January 2027, with additional pitching sessions and webinars expected to support proposal preparation ahead of the Cluster 4 call deadline of 2 February 2027.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
