SCALE-UP Partners at the Dedicated Project Booth

Apart from the involvements of the partners in panels, dedicated thematic sessions and keynote speeches, SCALE-UP also had a dedicated project booth on-site to interact and inform visitors of the project objectives and activities and explore possible synergies with other project consortia present.

Mr. Michiel Penne also presented the SCALE-UP Project to a wider audience within one of the two 10 Pitches Sessions for EU-funded Projects, initiatives and ideas:

All sessions have been streamed live online and the recordings have been made available here. The SCALE-UP consortium is looking forward to the next edition of this key event in 2024.
