FET2RIN (www.fet2rin.com) aims at facilitating collaborations to set the ground for the take up of Future and Emerging Technologies and FET projects (ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/future-emerging-technologies-fet) by overcoming obstacles related to market acceptancy and accessing business leaders including entrepreneurs, early stage investors and crowdfunding communities.

Divided in three workshops, the fourth edition of the training will be held from mid-March to mid May 2018 at EBN premises (Avenue de Tervueren 168, B-1150 Brussels, Belgium):
• 1st workshop: 15 - 16 March 2018

• 3rd workshop: 17 May - 18 May 2018

Why attend the training?

Fet2rin mentors and trainers will help you look at your FET projects from a different perspective - from the development of your project’s business plan, identifying your customer market, to finding the right financing options, including perfecting your pitch and reaching investors and business angels.
