Europe’s competitiveness increasingly depends on its ability to scale critical technologies from research to industrial deployment. In a context of geopolitical competition and industrial transformation, Research and Technology Organisations play a central role in turning innovation into impact. The EARTO Annual Conference 2026 will bring together EU policymakers, industry leaders and RTO executives to discuss how Europe can accelerate technology scale-up, strengthen its industrial base and reinforce technological leadership. Through high-level exchanges and concrete examples, the conference will highlight the role of RTOs as essential delivery actors of Europe’s innovation and competitiveness agenda.
