Partner search
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.
Your own network
Your strongest cooperation links will probably come from those organisations that you already interact with. Because there is already a trust relation established. Because there is a reason for this link.
For defining this network around you, dare to think broader than only your R&D partners. Subcontractors. Suppliers. Clients. ...
Enterprise Europe Network
Enterprise Europe Network is a network of more than 600 partner organisations in the EU. Thanks to this network you can get into contact (in a targetted manner) with companies from other countries which are looking for economic or technological cooperation. Besides, you can get reliable information on European legislation and regulations in other member states. Moreover, the network also has antennas outside Europe.
Teams of network experts in each member organisation offer personalised services to businesses. They know the local business environment and have contacts for business opportunities worldwide. The Network can also offer a targeted approach aimed specifically at your business sector. Its expert groups cover all key economic sectors, from healthcare to agrofood, from intelligent energy to fashion and textile.

First want to read a bit more about the offering? That's possible, check this presentation.
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!
