Horizon Europe Cluster 4 and 6 Inward Multilateral Brokerage Event
Innovate UK invites Cluster 4 and Cluster 6 experts to express their interest in attending an in-person Inward Multilateral Brokerage event focusing on select Horizon Europe Work Programme (WP) 2026-27 topics taking place at the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) – part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult in the UK over one and a half days. Applications are welcome from the UK, and EU selected Member States. The visits will enable delegates to build partnerships, strengthen collaboration, and to accelerate joint participation in Horizon Europe.
The Programme Agenda will include pitches, and pre-arranged meetings involving UK and EU delegates based on their interested WP 2027 topic(s) in scope. Innovate UK will also host site visits, enabling delegates to informally network with each other and tour facilities along the way.
Open to UK and EU delegates
Innovate UK welcomes participation from:
- UK SMEs, larger organisations, academia, RTOs
- Up to five delegates from each of the following eight EU Member States: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain
The visits aim to create a high value environment for forming consortia to shape competitive Horizon Europe proposals. We aim to have 40 UK and 40 EU participants overall.
Travel and accommodation costs covered
To remove barriers to participation and ensure a diverse and broad representation, Innovate UK will reimburse travel and accommodation costs up to £200 for all UK delegates, however subsistence will not be covered. Coaches for the site visits have been pre-arranged.
