The Innovation Day by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) is a yearly open air exhibition in Berlin which presents successful R&D projects funded through various of BMWi’s innovation support programmes. This year’s first ever entirely digital edition of this popular event will continue its tradition to showcase successful innovations and to provide an information platform for innovative SMEs.

On 17 June 2021, viewers and participants may take advantage of several online offers and activities, such as getting information on the wide spectrum of SME-targeted innovation funding programmes by BMWi, or participating at interactive webinars, meeting funding experts online at virtual information booths, and using innovative matchmaking tools to connect with potential project partners.

The agenda will also include a free webinar on international R&D collaborations within BMWi’s Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM), the funding programme which is available to German IraSME applicants.
