2 December 2015, Brussels – The main aim of the euRobotics Brokerage Day organised on 18 November 2015 at Brussels Expo, was to bring together stakeholders from the robotics field to meet and discuss potential project ideas and network. The event allowed the over 200 participants to make new contacts and find partners, especially during face to face matchmaking meetings.

Furthermore, attending the brokerage event was an excellent opportunity to receive in-depth information on the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2016–2017 in the area of ICT, but also to present ideas and form new consortia for proposals.
