The first day will start off with visits to companies in the health and
agro-food sectors and end with a networking dinner in the evening. On the second day, the morning will begin with plenary presentations on R&D and market and financing issues in life sciences. This will be followed by two parallel sessions of short presentations from companies in the health and agro-food areas. After a networking lunch, the afternoon will be dedicated to pre-arranged, face-to-face meetings. They will provide an opportunity for research institutes, innovation clusters, start-ups, early-stage and well-established companies to discuss partnerships for FP7 projects (topics to be in line with the final call for 2013), innovation cooperation, business development and financial/strategic alliances.

Meet4lifesciences is organized by Euresearch in collaboration with the networks Fit for Health, BIO-NET and Enterprise Europe Network. It is a free of charge partnering event for participants from academia and industry.
