As part of our mission to boost the visibility and impact of research outcomes across Widening countries and Outermost Regions,  over 20 on-site Matchmaking and Open Day events will be hosted. These dynamic, regionally-focused events will bring together a diverse community of participants including researchers, RMA professionals, investors, industry partners, policymakers, and other relevant partners.

Showcasing Innovation & Impact

At the heart of these events is the presentation of Key Exploitable Results (KERs)—high-value research findings identified. Selected for their potential to make a difference, these results will be showcased to spark interest in dissemination, collaboration, and exploitation opportunities, particularly in the realms of industry and innovation.

Regional Focus with Tailored Experiences

To ensure relevance and accessibility, the events will be organised on a regional basis, clustering results from neighbouring countries or regions. This approach supports a stronger contextual fit between the showcased work and regional development needs.

Interactive Format and Tailored Support

Each event will combine a variety of interactive formats such as:

  • Pitching sessions to potential investors and partners
  • Networking opportunities with diverse stakeholders
  • Policy roundtables to discuss regional implications and pathways
