Accelerating Europe’s Competitiveness Through Emerging Technologies: Unlocking Funding Opportunities for Robotics, Industry 5.0, Cloud & Cybersecurity, Space

Wednesday 23 September 2026 | 12:00-13:00 (EEST)

Europe’s ability to remain globally competitive increasingly depends on its capacity to develop, adopt and scale the next generation of strategic technologies. Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Smart Manufacturing, Cybersecurity and Space Technologies are reshaping industries, strengthening industrial resilience and driving Europe’s digital and industrial transformation.

As technological competition accelerates worldwide, organisations face 3 significant challenges to:

  • convert research excellence into market-ready solutions,
  • embrace disruptive innovation and
  • build strong international collaborations that drive sustainable growth.

Each session will explore

  • the key technologies driving transformation within each sector;
  • current market developments and future trends;
  • practical applications and successful implementation cases;
  • the challenges and opportunities associated with technology adoption; and
  • the importance of cross-border collaboration in accelerating innovation and industrial impact.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Europe’s strategic technology priorities and discover how organisations can leverage Horizon Europe to participate in collaborative R&D projects, strengthen international partnerships and access funding opportunities.

The event will conclude with a practical presentation of the EU Calls Platform, demonstrating how organisations can identify relevant funding opportunities, connect with international partners and build competitive consortia for future European projects.

The discussion will be conducted in English, aiming to engage an international audience of business representatives, researchers and organisations from across the European innovation ecosystem.
