IKNOWLEDGE 2022 - INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CENTRE BROKERAGE EVENT

The International Technology Centre Brokerage Event 2022 for technology transfer is organised within the framework of the 1st International Technology Centre Forum. The event, held in Cartagena in the Region of Murcia (Spain), will connect technology centres from across Europe and the rest of the world. The event, which is organised within the framework of the Enterprise Europe Network and co-financed by the European Union, is a unique opportunity to hold one-to-one interviews and locate technology and research partners to address key global challenges.

This will be a hybrid brokerage event meaning that, for its duration, meetings may take place virtually or in person at El Batel Convention Centre.
