Welcome to the business opportunities and Innovative Procurement in Big Science event.
We invite you to a webinar dedicated to exploring collaboration opportunities with CERN and Fusion for Energy. This meeting is designed to foster specialized R&D cooperation with leading Big Science institutions and to expand networks among scientific and technical organizations.
This unique event provides entrepreneurs with a rare opportunity to engage directly with representatives of major European research centres and discuss the potential for cooperation in the dynamic and growing Big Science sector. We put particular emphasis on innovative procurement, which opens the way for collaboration between companies at a different level.
International Research Laboratories such as CERN and Fusion for Energy conduct groundbreaking research, develop cutting-edge technologies, and drive innovation across multiple industries. Their collaboration is vital to advancing ambitious scientific initiatives that have positioned Europe as a global leader in science and technology.
Big Science projects are not only drivers of scientific progress—they also represent an attractive market for innovative services and a valuable source of advanced technologies with high economic implementation potential. This seminar aims to open doors for joint ventures, technology transfers, and long-term partnerships at the forefront of scientific discovery.
About INPROCAP Project
The INPROCAP project aims to establish a long-term sustainable advisory platform for innovation procurement within the Big Science innovation ecosystem. INPROCAP aims to engage a broader range of innovative companies across Europe, connecting them with the procurement needs of BSOs such as CERN, European XFEL, European Spallation Source (ESS), EISCAT, and Fusion for Energy (F4E/ITER). BSOs are at the forefront of innovation and technological advancements in energy, health, materials science, environmental research, and information technology.
