Technology Forum Life Sciences Week 2022

8th edition: September 26-30, 2022

In 2015, The European House – Ambrosetti launched the Life Sciences Technology Forum, the high-visibility event in the Life Sciences Community. The Community is the multi-stakeholder platform for discussion and debate around life sciences and its mission is to “contribute to supporting the research and innovation ecosystem in the life sciences sector in Italy by promoting centers of excellence and creating a network of national stakeholders to foster knowledge transfer, the development of new projects and to improve the positioning and competitiveness of Italy and its economy on an international level”.

Starting in 2020, the Life Sciences Technology Forum turned into a week-long event with a main forum and a series of thematic meetings during the final week of September.

29 settembre 2022 @ Rozzano, Humanitas Research Hospital

Technology Transfer in Life Sciences. The discussion will be cantered around Technology Transfer and the benefits of transnational research to the Italian ecosystem. By comparing some key features that can be found among the main European TTOs, the meeting aims to show the development trajectories of Technology Transfer in Life Sciences. On top of that, the discussion will cast a light upon those virtuous cases of industrial collaboration, thus highlighting the main partnership models activated through the role of TTOs. Therefore, the ultimate objective of the meeting, is going to be to strengthen the position of Italian research centres in a solid international network with other major European partners.
