Are you looking for a research partner for your healthtech project but don’t know where to start? Could the next innovation that skyrockets your company to success already be in development?

\n

MEDVIA’s free TouchPoints series brings together university Tech Transfer offices with companies so the former can showcase what they have available, and the latter can be inspired to create new value in their product or service portfolio. This session features Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and UZ Brussel, and  is co-organized with lifetech.brussels.
