More than 300 stakeholders in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) from research and industry took part in a matchmaking brokerage day on 26 November 2019 in Brussels. Representatives from the European Commission and euRobotics provided information on how to participate in the forthcoming calls on robotics and artificial intelligence.
During the day the EC representatives presented the details of the calls for proposals. euRobotics provided additional information, including presentations on the existing Digital Innovation Hubs, and the many proposers used the opportunity to present their project ideas and expertise to the audience.
