The conference is designed as a cross-point for science and business, global and local contexts, and private and public sectors. The conference will provide a platform for discussion, exchange of experiences and the development of new models of cooperation between scientists, businesses and policy makers. The synergies between science and business in every sector constitute the basis for innovation, economic growth and societal development.
