Omagh businesses, mark your calendars for 16–17 September. The European Commission’s annual flagship research & innovation event returns to The Square, Brussels — with a full online programme too, so you can take part from Tyrone.
Expect high-level talks, expert panels, and networking bringing together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders and the wider innovation community. Discussions will focus on how R&I can boost competitiveness, sustainability, and industrial leadership — aligning with EU priorities like the green transition, digital transformation, and inclusive economic growth.
Why it matters for Omagh:
-
Tap into emerging EU trends shaping markets and supply chains
-
Spot collaboration and funding opportunities relevant to local SMEs and startups
-
Learn practical ideas to accelerate digital and net-zero plans in your business
Attend in person in Brussels or join online — a great way for Omagh entrepreneurs to plug into Europe’s innovation agenda without leaving town.
The 2025 edition will focus on key European Union policies such as the Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Life Sciences Strategy, the AI in Science Strategy and the European Innovation and European Research Area Acts. These form part of ongoing discussions on the EU’s next long-term budget.
Attendees can join high-level discussions, panel sessions, and networking opportunities to help shape the future of research and innovation in Europe. Participation is possible both in Brussels and online.
If you wish to participate in person, register now to attend. If you wish to follow the event online, the event will be streamed on 16 and 17 September 2025 on the European Commission website
