Networking event Italy - France

 The Italy-France networking event aims to bring together R&I stakeholders interested in the opportunities offered by Horizon Europe, particularly the area "AI applied to industry" and "Space" within Cluster 4: ‘Digital, Industry and Space’.   

The initiative will bring together around 40 organisations, including French and Italian bodies, ranging from universities and research centres to businesses, offering them a practical space to get to know one another and lay the foundations for potential project collaborations.   

During the morning, some of the key themes of the 2026–2027 Work Programme will be presented, with a focus on AI applied to industry and opportunities in the Space sector. 

Following the information session, bilateral meetings are scheduled, designed to facilitate direct contact between participants.

A networking lunch will offer the participants an informal space to connect.
