Green Manufacturing unites corporates and startups
EIT Manufacturing and Bpifrance renew collaboration to drive sustainable industrial innovation
Access2Tech Europe is an exclusive event connecting European startups to regional manufacturing ecosystems. After a successful first French edition in 2024, EIT Manufacturing and Bpifrance are renewing their collaboration with the aim of connecting groundbreaking startups and established industrial players from both their local and pan-European networks.
The event brings technologies and solutions from across Europe with the potential to help manufacturers produce in a more efficient and sustainable way, leading to higher margins and lower emissions.
Join us on 23 October, from 9am to 2pm in Paris, to foster new collaborations and drive forward the transition towards sustainable manufacturing practices.
