EIC Procurers Days was opened by Grzegorz Kądzielawski, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A., together with Viorel Peca, Head of Unit, EIC Transition Activities and Business Acceleration Services (EISMEA), at the European Commission.

On the first day of the event, ten European companies and startups presented innovative technologies responding to the challenges of the European Green Deal to Grupa Azoty experts. The second day of the event provided an opportunity to meet with individual startups one on one to explore the selected projects in detail.

EIC Procurers Days with Grupa Azoty is a platform for networking with European companies that deploy innovative solutions at major corporations around the world on a daily basis. During the two-day event, we discovered ten projects meeting our needs, mainly in the fields of circular economy and green transition, but also eco-friendly plastics and fertilizers. As a next step, we will make a decision as to which projects and at what scale would likely support our business, chiefly in the context of the climate and energy transition, said Grzegorz Kądzielawski, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.

This successful cooperation between Grupa Azoty and the EIC is proof that Europe has the talent, inspiration and capacity to grow innovative companies with high impact solutions that make a positive difference in millions of people’s lives every day. We truly believe this EIC Innovation Procurement-event is a new great opportunity for all and an important landmark in this collaboration with Grupa Azoty, which we highly appreciate and brings a great deal of business opportunities, said Jean David Malo, Director of the EIC and the SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA).
