The EU-funded projects DIAMONDS4IF, LEADS, H2IF, 2DPLOY, in close collaboration with CINEA, DG CLIMA and DG RTD and with the support of REALIZE, are pleased to invite you to the public event: “Accelerating clean industrial deployment: insights, challenges, and opportunities“.
The event will focus on defining and sharing a strategic vision for European industrial decarbonisation and the effective deployment of innovation.
The aim is to bring together key decision-makers – CEOs, CFOs and equivalent executives – from leading industrial companies across all sectors, together with key European players in the field of innovation.
The event will specifically address the sectors targeted by the participating CSAs (Cluster of Support Actions), with a particular focus on: renewable energy (DIAMONDS4IF and REALIZE), Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (LEADS), hydrogen and energy storage (H2IF), and low-carbon technologies for energy-intensive industries (2DPLOY).
If your company aims to develop innovative technologies and support the EU’s climate goals, don’t miss this opportunity to connect with leading representatives of the European Commission and key industry players to jointly identify concrete opportunities for development and accelerate your path to success.
DIAMONDS4IF, LEADS, H2IF, 2DPLOY and REALIZE are collaborating to support projects already funded under EU research and development programmes, with the aim of maximising the number of high-quality Innovation Fund applications, highlighting and overcoming the challenges and difficulties encountered along the way.
