During the next 20th and 21st of October, the main actors of innovation, Industry 4.0 and robotics, will meet in a 100% digital scenario where RobotUnion will have a special role as a PLATINIUM sponsor.
With the purpose of continuing to drive the growth of the ecosystem among the main representatives of the innovation market and promote initiatives such as GREX 2020, RobotUnion announces its participation as one of the sponsors in the world’s most important virtual fair on robotics, technological innovations, and Artificial Intelligence.
RobotUnion is the first European acceleration programme focused on the field of robotics. During 3 years, the project financed within the European framework Horizon 2020, has reached admirable achievements and has become an example of acceleration specialized in robotics for the technological innovations that enter the market.
In the framework of GR-EX, the project will share its results and experience in the session that will take place on October 20th at 15:00. 00h – 15:45h CEST.
Izabela Zrazinska, coordinator of the project from Fundingbox, will present the project and the main achievements of the accelerated companies; Emily Carroll, Head of Public Innovation Programs at ISDI Accelerator, will present the methodology used within the program for the orientation in business management; and Francisco Luque Cañones, Innovation Manager at the Innovation Center of Intelligent Structures (CI3), will discuss the main challenges about the collaboration process between corporations and start-ups to bring innovative products to the market.
In addition, seven of the companies that received support from the RobotUnion program will be present at the fair presenting their solutions. These TOP European RobotUnion companies were invited to speak to the public during the pitch session organised for the 20th of October at 16:00 CEST.
“We are very proud to share the results and to present the companies supported by RobotUnion in the reference fair for Industry 4.0 and that more reflects the real advances in R&D”, comments Izabela Zrazinska, Coordinator of the RobotUnion project, while she points out that “this year the fair has a special value linked to the need to continue to be present in the development of the sector, albeit virtually, something that, paradoxically, I am sure will generate an even more immersive environment”.
About Global Robot Expo 2020
GR-EX (Global Robot Expo) is an international B2B exhibition on innovation, robotics, and related technologies, held annually at IFEMA, Madrid (Spain). The multi-sectorial essence of GR-EX makes it unique and allows the creation of synergies between professionals who do not coincide in sectorial events. GR-EX shows the latest advances in artificial intelligence, industry, service robotics, logistics, drones, and aerospace technologies, among other sectors.

Our RobotUnion partner Odense Invest has just published the report
The investment landscape around the Odense’s ecosystem has been growing exponentially since 2015, at the beginning of 2020 surpassing the 800m EUR. With a vibrant community gathered around the local robotics cluster, we have registered over 130 active VC investors, 85 investors in robotics and almost 100 corporates.
When going a little bit more in detail, the data showcases an interesting phenomenon – exit capital is being reinvested in the local ecosystem. All those insights and more and now available at your fingertips! We have always been putting our best efforts to keep up with the new developments surrounding local robotics startups and SMEs. Now, the time has come to launch our first attempt to provide even more detailed picture of what has been so successfully happening on the island of Fyn. As of the 20th of August, our business intelligence platform is officially live and available at osav.dk. On top of that, we proudly present you with ‘The State of the Robotics Investment Landscape’ – a report, which marks the beginning of the platform.
