National contact points (NCPs) from nine START countries will be presenting the potential in their respective country with the aim of stimulating research collaboration between stakeholders. NCPs from other countries will be welcomed. In addition European Commission (EC) representatives and some industry leaders will be invited. This will eventually result in projects that will be undertaken under FP7. Invited speakers will discuss their experience in FP6 and their company's intentions in FP7.
