What made this Summit unique?

Highly multidisciplinary

Instead of only looking at what happens in a particular area, the event mainly focused on what can be learned from OTHER complementary disciplines and fields.

Process oriented

We did not only deal with detailed research findings, business development activities or practical implementation strategies, but with the FULL research & innovation PROCESS.

Purpose driven

We gathered people and organizations with similar end-goals in mind: learning how to create real-life IMPACT for people with the help of science & technology.
