Registration open!

Registration is now open for the brokerage event for IHI call 9, which will be held in Brussels, Belgium on 12-13 November 2024. There will also be an additional day for online consortium meetings on 14 November.

 

About the event

The brokerage event has been designed to facilitate networking and the formation of consortia for IHI's next calls for proposals. Find out about the different features of the event…

Discover project proposals during the pitching sessions

Our pitching sessions will spotlight people who have a project proposal and are looking for partners for a consortium to turn their idea into a reality. If you want to present a pitch yourself, the deadline to apply is 28 October – details can be found in the platform. Note that pitchers must use the IHI slide template found in the platform and also publish their proposal via the proposal sharing tool.

Meet potential partners by the posters

Posters displayed throughout the catering areas will showcase organisations that are keen to get involved in the IHI projects of the future. More information on this can be found in the platform.

Non-stop networking

With plenty of agenda slots dedicated to networking time, and refreshments on hand throughout the event, you can hold informal, one-on-one meetings with new contacts at any time during the event.

Dedicated meeting rooms for fledgling consortia

If you have started to build a consortium and want a private space for a longer meeting, we've got you covered! Our venue has six small meeting rooms that you will be able to book on site for blocks of 55 minutes.

Ask the experts

To maximise the time for networking, our Brokerage Event does not include info sessions at all. However, because we know questions might come up during your meetings, we will run 'ask the experts' Q&A sessions at the end of both days.

14 November - dedicated to online networking

On 14 November, we will move the event online and open up virtual lounges so that new consortia can keep working and bring in people who were not able to attend the face-to-face event.

 

About the networking platform

The brokerage platform allows you to showcase your own and your organisation’s expertise, and share project proposals with other participants.

Once you’ve registered, you will be able to search for and contact potential partners and project proposals that could be relevant for you.

The platform will remain open for networking until the call deadline.
