Eurostars @ Knowledge for Growth 2020

Eurostars Life Sciences Matching Event A brokerage event for SMEs seeking to cooperate in research and development projects. In the context of Eurostars calls (the next deadline is September 3, 2020), the Enterprise Europe Network and the public funding agencies of Belgium, the Netherlands and Nordrhein-Westfalen (Germany) co-organize an international matchmaking event for SMEs interested in life science issues. Eurostars finances international innovative projects led by SMEs that carry out R&D activities. With its bottom-up focus, it supports the development of innovative products, processes and services. It is an ideal first step in international cooperation, as it enables small businesses to combine and share knowledge and benefit from working across national or regional borders. To assist interested parties in the search for international partners (companies, universities, research institutes) with complementary experience to establish a Eurostars project, a double brokerage event is organized in the field of life sciences, including health, biotechnology, medical technology and Agrotech: On May 27, 2020, online B2B meetings will be facilitated via the b2match platform to allow companies to find partners for the next Eurostars call in September.

On September 9, 2020, the physical pairing event will take place in Ghent, Belgium. Participants will then have the opportunity to learn about the latest services and financing opportunities offered to SMEs for cross-border research projects by the Eurostars and Interreg programs and how to establish an international project. In addition, the agenda will include pitch and matchmaking sessions for companies that want to present a proposal in 2021.

Please note that participants in the virtual matchmaking session on May 27 are also invited to attend the full Eurostars Life Sciences matchmaking event (with presentations, presentations and bilateral meetings) on September 9, 2020 in Ghent.
