Getting ready for the opening of the calls for 2027 also implies finding (potential) partners. To help with this, you can participate in a brokerage event with pre-arranged online face-to-face meetings.

Rather than just an event, this is an online matchmaking and networking platform for the Horizon Europe Cluster 4 Digital funding calls, co-organized by the Ideal-ist network and the Enterprise Europe Network.

Detailed information and registration are available on the website. If it is new to you, you might want to read up on how such a brokerage works.

This brokerage event complements the official and EC-organised Cluster 4 Info Day.

It allows researchers, innovators, businesses, and academic institutions across Europe and partner countries to register, highlight their specific research topics of interest, browse profiles of potential collaboration partners, and arrange targeted 1-on-1 virtual meetings to form consortia and seek to apply together for upcoming EU digital research grants.
