From November 13 to 15, EXCITE's cluster partner GAIA has organized the possibility to visit this territory with a strong industrial character and with a strong focus on the theme of Industry 4.0 for those European companies interested in the topics. The visit will focus on the cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian.

The week of November 13 to 17, 2023 there are several events taking place in November in the Basque Country and therefore we will take this opportunity to organize an agenda for those entities that may be interested in finding collaborations and opportunities in the territory. There will be opportunities for B2B meetings, interesting conferences related to technology and visits to local stakeholders.

To begin with, the Basque Open Industry 2023 will be held on November 13th and 14th. This is a meeting place and enrichment of technological knowledge with a productive base, a live observatory of the latest trends in advanced manufacturing and emerging applications of the Basque Smart Industry.

Furthermore, the European SME Week 2023 will take place from 13th - 17th November 2023 in Bilbao. Incorporating both the SME Assembly (13th-15th November) and the Europe Enterprise Network (EEN) Conference (15th-17th November), this year's event is set to be even bigger and better.The EEN conference provides a unique opportunity for SMEs to connect with potential partners and investors, and gain valuable insights into the latest trends and technologies in their industry.
