The CARE4BIO project is hosting the official CARE4BIO Brokerage Event 2027, a premier matchmaking opportunity for the upcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 6 calls (“Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment”). The event will take place on-site in Brussels on Friday, 15 January 2027 at the European Commission’s Charlemagne Building.

The brokerage event is designed to help researchers and innovators build winning international consortia, pitch project ideas, and establish valuable cross-border partnerships. Key features include targeted bilateral B2B meetings, high-level networking, and dynamic Flash Presentations to showcase expertise and proposal concepts. An additional training session on “Pathway to Impact” for Horizon Europe applicants is also being planned.

Travel grants are available for eligible participants from Widening countries who submit a Flash Presentation. To be considered for a travel grant, candidates must submit their flash presentation pitch and ensure their profile meets the validation criteria by 29 November 2026.

This brokerage event complements the official Horizon Europe Cluster 6 Info Days (taking place on 13 & 14 January 2027), providing structured networking and matchmaking opportunities to build strong international consortia. (Please note: Registration for the Brokerage Event does not include registration for the Cluster 6 Info Days; separate registration is required).

The matchmaking sessions cover all core Cluster 6 destinations:

• Biodiversity and ecosystem services;
• Fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food systems;
• Circular economy and bioeconomy sectors;
• Clean environment and zero pollution;
• Land, ocean, and water for climate action;
• Resilient, inclusive, healthy, and green rural, coastal, and urban communities;
• Innovative governance, environmental observations, and digital solutions supporting the Green Deal.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory and subject to profile validation. As spots are limited and demand is high, registrations will close on 13 December 2026 at the latest (or earlier once capacity is reached).
