Brokerage Event on Artificial Intelligence in Horizon 2020 at the Integrated Plant Engineering Conference in Nuremberg

The conference, organized by the Nuremberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), serves as a platform for technology providers and users to exchange experiences and ideas in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine vision, and intelligent products and platforms. In addition to a keynote on the topic of “Start up challenge experience from Silicon Valley to London”, there will also be insight into the experiences of our partner countries Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, and Sweden on the digitization of the value chain.

The brokerage event is being held as part of the conference. Here you will have the opportunity to identify suitable project partners from other European countries as well as bring your own expertise into Horizon 2020 project applications. You will meet suitable, potential project partners from the science community and industry in order to exchange your initial ideas and experiences for a possible EU-funded project. The brokerage event focuses on the upcoming EU calls on artificial intelligence with deadline in April 2020. For more information about this funding programmes, please click on these links:

Four tips for putting together a meaningful and descriptive profile for the brokerage event:

• Information is key: The more suggested profile fields you fill out, the better your chances are for successful meetings. We require you to fill in the profile completely to participate.
• Fill in the “Marketplace Opportunities": What kind of cooperation partners are you looking for?  Enter some relevant information in “marketplace” in order to increase your visibility and to search for partners that match the EU topcs on artificial intelligence you selected.
• Select “EU topics on AI”: Select the EU topics on artificial intelligence for which you have a project idea and would like to initiate a joint EU-funded project.
• As concise as possible and as long as necessary: Find a good middle ground for your presentation.
