BayFOR is pleased to invite you to the EU Brokerage Event on Key Enabling Technolgies (KET) online on 24 September 2026.
The event is designed to support stakeholders from research, industry and the public sector in finding international partners and building consortia for upcoming calls under the Horizon Europe Work Programmes 2026-2027. It is organised by the German and French National Contact Points together with partners from the Enterprise Europe Network, including Steinbeis Europa Zentrum and Grand Est Développement. The Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) co-organises this event.
The event will cover upcoming Horizon Europe topics in:
– Cluster 4 – Digital, Industry and Space
– Cluster 5 – Climate, Energy and Mobility, with a particular focus on energy storage, batteries and hydrogen
– Selected industry-related topics from Cluster 6 – Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment
At KETs2026 reloaded, participants will have the opportunity to:
• present their project ideas, expertise and partner searches in thematic pitching sessions,
• meet potential partners in pre-arranged 20-minute online B2B meetings,
• identify suitable international partners for new Horizon Europe consortia, and
• participate in additional pitching sessions and webinars following the main event.
A particular benefit is the extended matchmaking period: the platform will remain open until the end of January 2027, giving you several additional months to arrange meetings, follow up on promising contacts and develop new project consortia.
To present a project idea during the event on 24 September 2026, please submit your presentation using the official template by 20 September 2026.
Participation is free of charge, and the event language is English. To make the most of the matchmaking opportunities, we recommend registering early and completing a detailed cooperation profile.
