BIG SCIENCE BUSINESS FORUM

Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) is a business oriented congress, focused on high technology and innovation with the aim to be the main meeting point between Research Infrastructures and industry in Europe. In 2026 Belgium and the Netherlands will host the fourth edition of the event in the city of Maastricht (NL), after the success of the previous editions in Trieste, Copenhagen and Granada, where more than 1.000 delegates from more than 500 organizations and 30 countries gathered together to discuss the future prospects of the Big Science Market.

BSBF is a unique opportunity for European businesses and organizations to be fully informed and get involved in calls and competitions for billions of euro per year managed directly by international Big Science Organizations (BSOs), under specific rules and procedures.
