Building Tomorrow’s Projects

The National Contact Point of Poland invites you to join a two-day lunch-to-lunch event dedicated to building strong international project consortia under Horizon Europe 2027 (Cluster 5, Cluster 6 and Mission Ocean).

Blue-Green Lab is designed as a hands-on experience – moving from idea generation, through pitching, to the creation of real project partnerships. The event ensures high-quality interaction, effective networking, and targeted matchmaking.

Why participate?

The event brings together blue & green approaches, integrating climate, water, ecosystem, and bioeconomy challenges into coherent, interdisciplinary projects aligned with European Commission priorities.

Thematic tracks:

• Water & Ocean Resilience (flagship track)
• Circular & Blue Value Chains (including blue food)
• Nature-Based Solutions & Biodiversity
• Climate-Smart Land Systems & Monitoring

What’s in the programme?

• short strategic inputs
• pitching session
• moderated matchmaking
• thematic working sessions
• rapid identification of synergies and project-building aligned with 2027 calls

Who should attend?

• SMEs and technology companies
• research institutes, RTOs and universities
• representatives of regions and cities (especially port areas)
• sectoral organisations
• representatives of the European Commission, NCPs and European networks

Participation of consortium catalysts is encouraged – large research organisations, infrastructure operators (e.g. ports), and entities capable of deploying solutions at regional scale.

Expected outcome

Development of concrete project ideas and pre-formed consortia ready to apply for Horizon Europe 2027 calls.
