Zabala Innovation strengthens its presence in strategic sectors of European innovation

Zabala Innovation will participate in several European events dedicated to research, innovation and industrial development throughout November. From Paris and Brussels to Bilbao, Stockholm and Madrid, its teams will engage in collaborative forums bringing together companies, institutions, research centres and representatives of strategic sectors. This agenda reflects the company’s cross-sector expertise and its role as a strategic partner in the development of innovation initiatives and European collaborative projects.

The events cover areas such as industrial decarbonisation, batteries, defence, health and European research and innovation policies. Beyond attending these gatherings, Zabala Innovation will have the opportunity to engage with different stakeholders across the innovation ecosystem, identify potential collaborations and showcase projects in which it is involved. Planned activities include bilateral meetings, professional networking, project presentations and specialised workshops.

Industry, decarbonisation and new opportunities for collaboration

The agenda will begin in Paris, where Sarah Hennig and Francesca Pasqualino will attend European Defence Week on 2 and 3 November, an event focused on the defence sector. Zabala Innovation’s presence at this gathering forms part of its activities in strategic areas of innovation, where cooperation between companies, institutions and other stakeholders plays an important role in developing new initiatives.

At the same time, Bilbao will host the World Summit for Decarbonized & Sustainable Industry from 3 to 5 November, one of the events where Zabala Innovation will have a particularly extensive presence. The company will have its own space at stand D18, deliver a workshop led by Igor Idareta and showcase projects in which it participates in the poster exhibition area. Beatriz Quintillá, Mariano Echávarri and Iraia Núñez will attend the first two days of the exhibition.

Sancho Ubani, David Aranguren and Camino Correia will also attend the event, while Jaled Amer and Marta Gorricho will take part in the Talent Hub, a space dedicated to connecting with professionals. These activities will cover different aspects of industrial innovation, from project development and knowledge exchange to engagement with talent.

European research and energy storage technologies

Brussels will be another key location on the agenda. On 10 and 11 November, Marcos Jareño and Susana Garayoa will attend the European Research and Innovation Days, an event dedicated to European research and innovation. The gathering provides an opportunity to engage with stakeholders involved in shaping these policies and to follow the priorities and discussions influencing the European research and innovation ecosystem.

The agenda will continue in Stockholm on 11 and 12 November, where Matthias Jousseaume and Luisa Suarez will attend the Battery Innovation Days. The event focuses on battery innovation and will also feature the European project NEXTBAT, which will have its own exhibition space. Its participation will help raise the project’s visibility within a specialised environment and facilitate connections with other stakeholders involved in developing energy storage technologies.

On 17 November, Brussels will once again welcome representatives of Zabala Innovation for the BIC Industry Networking Event. Carlos Amat and Damian Muruzabal will participate in the event, which includes matchmaking activities designed to facilitate meetings between professionals and organisations. This format offers opportunities to establish contacts and explore potential industrial collaborations, complementing the company’s involvement in events dedicated to research and technological development.

Health and cooperation among European stakeholders

Health will also feature on Zabala Innovation’s November agenda. Laura Sesma will attend the European Health Summit in Madrid on 10 November. Her participation brings health innovation into the range of sectors covered by the company during the month and broadens opportunities to engage with organisations and professionals working in this field.

Later, on 23 and 24 November, Laura Sesma will participate in the HERA Industry Days in Brussels. The event includes speed-dating sessions designed to facilitate direct contact between participants. These activities provide opportunities to identify shared interests and initiate discussions on potential cooperation in a sector where research, industry and European institutions intersect.

A cross-sector presence in the European innovation ecosystem

The concentration of these events within a single month illustrates the diversity of sectors in which Zabala Innovation operates. Although each gathering addresses different sector-specific priorities, they all share a focus on cooperation between organisations, project development and engagement with key stakeholders across the European innovation ecosystem.

The company’s presence at these events combines different forms of engagement, from professional exchanges and bilateral meetings to project presentations, workshops and connections with specialised talent. These activities help maintain direct relationships with sector-specific ecosystems and connect stakeholders’ needs with opportunities for cooperation and innovation.

Zabala Innovation’s November agenda therefore reflects its role as a strategic partner within the European innovation ecosystem, with teams active across different sectors and countries. Its participation in these events builds on its ongoing work with companies, research centres and institutions, while opening up new opportunities for collaboration in key areas of industrial, technological and health innovation.
