On 21 February, the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg organised the online matchmaking session EU Projects Talks, an initiative that sought to connect companies interested in European projects. This virtual meeting facilitated networking and collaboration between companies, SMEs and professionals from different sectors.

The event began with an introduction by Andrea Galante, Project Manager of the Chamber, who explained in a few minutes the projects she currently manages. This was followed by two brief speeches by Ruth Estrada (Schuman Associates) and Blanca Rodríguez (Zabala Innovation), both experts in European projects, who explained the main opportunities existing in the different funding programmes active in 2025.

Afterwards, the main part of the session consisted of short presentations by the participants and small group discussions. Attendees were able to network and find consortium partners for projects in three thematically differentiated discussion groups.

After the event, the idea is to encourage the continuity of contact between the attending professionals through digital platforms and future regular meetings.
