2024 EBN Congress

Brought to you by EBN and EU|BIC Atlanpole, the 2024 EBN Congress will gather innovation experts, business incubation executives, corporate leaders, and senior-level government officials in Nantes, France. In 2024, our community will explore how EU|BICs are supporting the challenge-driven strong innovation networks – regionally and EU-wide – and supporting entrepreneurial innovation that modernises industrial ventures.

Supporting sustainable industry

Sustainability and industry converge in innovation. And this convergence is an imperative. The long-term viability of the industrial sector in Europe, its competitiveness, social and labour attractiveness, and the capacity to answer unexpected crises robustly (EU’s technological and industrial sovereignty) will hinge on maximising the capabilities of its surrounding innovation ecosystems.

The industrial landscape of the future embraces ecological responsibility, resource efficiency, and social impact. Innovation is the catalyst for this change. Can we strengthen the European net-zero industrial capacity and overcome barriers to scaling up manufacturing solutions?
