On the 7th of June 2024, NEBULA organised its second InfoDay & Matchmaking event dedicated to upcoming Built4People calls, with the support of Greenet.

After a welcoming addressed by Inès Elisabeth Kahin and Mohaddeseh Maktabifard from R2M, Anastasiya Yurchyshyna from ECTP presented the Built4People Partnership, in particular its objectives and the community that is being built around it. Eleftherios Bourdakis from CINEA then introduced the B4P call for proposals that will open in September and close in January 2025, and which includes 5 topics (2 RIAs and 3 IAs) with a total available EU contribution of 50M€. Insights on EU contribution per country and participant type from the past calls were also provided.

The second part of the InfoDay gave the floor to two Innovation Clusters that are in the process of joining the network launched by B4P. Anastasiya Yurchyshyna introduced the session by explaining what a “B4P Innovation Cluster” is, why and how to become one. The digital platform METABUILDING, used by B4P to manage its ecosystem and the network of B4PICs, was also presented. Julie Saccomano from DOWEL Innovation (coordinator of NEBULA) completed the presentation with an overview of the current geographical coverage of B4PICs already in the network or in the process of joining it. CMD (Galicia Wood and Design Cluster, Spain) and Habitech (Italy) then presented their clusters, competences and interest in the upcoming calls.

A demonstration of the matchmaking facility offered by Greenet through the B2match tool was finally offered by Frankie Borg from the Malta Council for Science and Technology: all participants were invited to register to this matchmaking platform to find partners and team up for the next B4P calls.

The event ended with a Q&A session, which included questions about the call topics, the expected reporting toward the B4P partnership and the link to the NEB Facility.
