Opportunities for SMEs in Horizon 2020, Helsinki
The day after the Manufuture 2019 Conference – Sustainable Smart Manufacturing VTT, Tampere University and FundingBox organise a side event at Business Finland premises in Helsinki.
Several European initiatives offer technological and financial support to manufacturing SMEs and mid-caps to experiment with ICT and other enabling technologies. Hundreds of experiments have been realised and new open calls are to come. Innovative technology suppliers also participate in these experiments, where they can mature their existing technologies and ultimately open new markets and services.
If you are representing a smaller company in manufacturing or an actor working closely with SMEs, come and join us to see and discuss what opportunities there are for you.
