Matchmaking

The matchmaking session was on October 10, and the idea was to boost research, development and innovation cooperation between universities, industry and public actors. 

The session allowed participants to present new project ideas and meet possible partners from other countries who share similar interests.

Ideas were pitched as brief presentations (max. 5 minutes).
