10/24 - A.SPIRE - Second Process Industry Conference – SHAPING THE TRANSFORMATION

The Second Process Industry Conference – SHAPING THE TRANSFORMATION - will be organised on October 23-24, 2024, at BluePoint, Boulevard Auguste Reyers 80, 1030, Brussels. This event - focused on and dedicated to the process industry - is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of Europe’s industrial transformation. 


If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to register - as an A.SPIRE member - and secure your place at this pivotal event shaping the future of the process industry HERE.  

DAY 1: Stakeholders’ Event (October 23): Engage in crucial discussions on the green transition, innovation, and industrial decarbonisation. Join industry leaders and European institutions in shaping the future of sustainable industrial practices across Europe. The day will feature plenary sessions, case studies, and networking opportunities. 

DAY 2: COLLABORATE, INNOVATE, TRANSFORM! (October 24): Exclusively for A.SPIRE members, this day will focus on collaboration and innovation through our yearly brokerage event, marketplace opportunities, and thematic workshops.  

For the Brokerage event, A.SPIRE invites its members to pitch their project ideas and find the right partners for future consortia. The Brokerage provides additional value to our members regarding their preparation and participation in 2025 Horizon Europe calls, especially the Processes4Planet calls. Networking tables will facilitate matches, and private meeting spaces will be available for further discussions. Through the B2Match platform, it will be possible to keep in touch and match even after the event.  

To reserve your place at the Brokerage and present your pitch, please complete this Matchmaking Support Form with your details at your earliest convenience as spots are limited. The information you provide will be included in a booklet distributed during the event. This booklet will help participants identify which pitches align with their interests and needs.  

Please consult the tentative agenda of the Second European Process Industry Conference and find further relevant information (hotel suggestions and further practical information) to the event and your trip to Brussels HERE

We invite all members to participate in both days of the conference but kindly encourage each organisation to limit participation to a maximum of two representatives. This approach will help us accommodate everyone and make the most of our time together.  

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to Emanuela Consalvo (eco@aspire2050.eu) for any concerns regarding the registration process, and to any A.SPIRE-team member for further questions regarding the conference.
