Conferences report + minutes

This deliverable will be based on the organization of 1 or 2 side events linked to the Innovative Enterprise Conferences organized by the European Commission in the project time-frame (or similar events). The aim is twofold: - to describe more largely the implementation specific aspects of the EIC pilot novelties to a wide range of stakeholders from the EU research and innovation ecosystem related to the EIC and EU-backed financial instrument. - To facilitate the matchmaking between specific profiles of high potential companies as start ups companies emerging from Pathfinder/FET projects and Accelerator Seal of Excellence holders (see T5.3). The NCP Network involvement will be standardized through a specific package of offer including: - The organization of a policy session within the general agenda of the event, to be defined in strict connection with the Commission and the other main organizer of the event. - The organization of a pitching session under T5.3 targeting different types of high business potential companies, start ups and spin offs and aimed to facilitate the matchmaking with private investors. These sessions will be organized by means of the NCP Network’s community set up on the matchmaking platform EuroQuity. - The arrangement of a NCP booth aimed at informing participant on project activities and tools as well as on funding opportunities available in the H2020 and EIC frame.
