Multilateral matchmaking event, organised by Innovation Norway, focused on Green Industry and ICT, took place on 2-3 March, 2020 in Sentralen Oslo, Marble Hall. The main target group were companies and institutions aiming at participation in the calls under the EEA and Norway Grants from countries implementing the business programme. 

There were registered 143 participants from 14 beneficiary countries at this matchmaking event. Three business participants were from Slovakia: Archee, E-Vision Systems and General European Innovation Group.

- increasing efficiency of production and industry in general;
- innovative development of ICT products/processes/solutions; and
