2024 EBN Congress | 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.


Co-organised by EU|BIC Atlanpole, alongside its partners, Crédit Mutuel-CIC Ouest, Pôle EMC2, ADEME, Bionanopolys, ACCELERO, and EU LAC Digital Accelerator, #EBN2024 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. 


  • How are we orchestrating our innovation ecosystem towards answering sustainability challenges?
  • How are the best business support programmes tackling the specific challenges of industry-oriented (green)tech start-ups and SMEs?
  • How can we tap into the right skills to maintain high-level human capital capacities for Europe’s innovation ecosystem?
