“From Next Generation Chemistry perspective, Eureka’s SWITCH 2025 delegation was an efficient, effective bridge to leading investors. The curated Investors Session and targeted 1:1 matchmaking—together with structured followups—turned visibility into concrete next steps across new markets and partnerships. Without this organisation, we wouldn’t have accessed these investors, the crossborder opportunities, or the network created around the event.” 

Ricardo Costa, Next Generation Chemistry
