Project and companies’ pitches

At the EU Stand, Ecomondo visitors will have the chance to hear directly from successful projects and companies about how European funds helped bring their innovative ideas to life. It is a unique occasion to discuss with peers, create potential partnerships and have a first-hand account of their experience with EU funding.

A comprehensive list of projects and companies that will be present at the EU Stand will be published after September.

One-to-EU meetings at the Stand

Ecomondo visitors will have the opportunity to meet representatives from CINEA and EISMEA during the One-to-EU meetings. These one-to-one talks will be held at the EU Stand in the Hall Sud throughout the event.

One-to-EU meetings are a way for visitors to get useful insights into the funding opportunities available and the application process.

Visitors can just pass by the Stand during the fair and meet the experts dealing with one of the several funding programmes that the Agencies implement on behalf of the European Commission.
