The CERN Industry & Technology Day is a unique opportunity for industry representatives to engage with leading experts, policymakers, and CERN representatives to explore the economic, technological, and societal impact of Big Science projects.
A series of keynote talks and case studies, will offer the perfect opportunity to get an insight into the ongoing research in the framework of the feasibility study for a post-LHC collider at CERN. Learn more about ongoing activities, lines of technological R&D and the potential synergies.
Beyond the presentations, the FCC Week 2025 Industry Day is a prime opportunity to forge valuable connections. Take part in networking breaks and a dedicated drink reception where you can meet CERN representatives, procurement experts, and industry leaders, opening the door to new collaborations and business opportunities.
As a special highlight, your registration also includes a ticket to an exclusive concert at Vienna’s renowned Musikverein—an inspiring way to wrap up the day with meaningful conversations, and a touch of Viennese culture.
