Find the right partner to accelerate development and sales of your technological innovations

During the Global Sustainable Technology and Innovation Community (G-STIC) conference, the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) organises an online matchmaking event with bilateral B2B meetings on 26-28 October.

Accelerating technological solutions for the SDGs

The G-STIC conference is the world’s leading conference on integrated technological solutions aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 17 internationally agreed ambitious goals to move the world to a more sustainable future by 2030.

Hosted by 8 world-class technological research institutions (VITO, ACTS, FIOCRUZ, GIEC, GIST, IITD, NACETEM and TERI), the G-STIC conference accelerates the implementation of groundbreaking market-ready technological solutions to achieve the SDGs.

As COVID-19 limits everybody’s ability to travel and meet in large groups, the G-STIC conference is organised online. Participants can join live from anywhere across the world to discuss new opportunities to contribute to a sustainable world and connect with people dedicated to the SDGs.
