KETs2026 Reloaded: Connect with European Partners for Horizon Europe Projects

The 13th edition of the KETs EU Brokerage Event, KETs2026 Reloaded, will take place on 24 September 2026 (online), bringing together companies, researchers, universities, laboratories and public authorities looking to build new collaborations around upcoming Horizon Europe opportunities.

The event is designed to help participants identify potential partners and develop international consortia for upcoming calls, particularly across Clusters 4, 5 and 6. Key areas include manufacturing and production, advanced materials, circularity, artificial intelligence, digital technologies, robotics, batteries, hydrogen and bioeconomy.

Four thematic areas

The programme will feature four thematic pitching sessions focusing on:

• Manufacturing, circularity and energy-intensive industries – Cluster 4
• Raw materials and advanced materials – Cluster 4
• Artificial intelligence and ICT – Cluster 4
• Energy storage and bioeconomy – Clusters 5 and 6

Participants will have the opportunity to present their expertise and project ideas, exchange with potential partners and arrange one-to-one B2B meetings to explore future collaboration opportunities.

Build partnerships beyond the event

The matchmaking platform will remain open from 24 September 2026 until the end of January 2027, allowing participants to continue identifying partners and arranging bilateral meetings well beyond the main event.

The event is particularly relevant for organisations preparing proposals for upcoming Horizon Europe calls in areas such as advanced manufacturing, materials, AI and robotics, batteries and hydrogen.

Participation is free of charge.
