Technology Transfer – how to work it out?

Second day of our conference, we will start with the journey that explores the dynamic intersection of knowledge, innovation, and real-world applications. In an era where scientific advancements occur at an unprecedented pace and where industries seek ever more innovative solutions, the synergy between academia and industry has never been more significant. The process of transferring scientific discoveries, breakthroughs, and research findings into practical, real-world applications lies at the heart of economic progress and societal betterment.
Our discussion will brings together an exceptional panel of experts, visionaries, and practitioners from both the realms of academia and industry. These individuals represent diverse perspectives, experiences, and institutions, all united by a common goal: to bridge the gap between knowledge creation and its transformation into tangible, marketable products and services. The path from laboratory discoveries to industry innovations is not merely a transaction; it is a journey marked by collaboration, mutual understanding, and perseverance. This journey is characterized by the efforts of scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders who work in concert to translate theory into practice, and hypotheses into commercial successes.
