Agenda
This third edition has been reorganized into a VIRTUAL format. The conference will have two rooms, dividing the projects according to their state of development, establishing 10 projects per room with a total of 20 in the event.
The guests have also been divided into two rooms (according to the projects preselected in the registration), the first one mainly dominated by investors and the second one highlighted by the presence of biotechnology and health sector companies.
At the end of the projects presentations in front of the investors and companies, there is the possibility of selecting the projects that have aroused their interest, and B2B meeting will be scheduled to their availability in the following days.
