The aim of this event is to bring together the relevant stakeholders (industries, industrial associations, technology developers and EC representatives) to discuss on how the Horizon Europe can effectively impact the European industry competitiveness. Questions about lessons learnt from H2020 to increase the impact on industrial innovation and EU industry paths to cover the gap between research and market, will be addressed in a round table after a keynote speech of Mr. Jürgen Tiedje, Head of Unit of D.2 Advanced Manufacturing Systems and Biotechnologies at DG RTD.
