Session 3 | Vision Health | sold out
10.30 - 12.00 hrs

This session will discuss the vision of the life sciences and health sector: an outlook on and route towards 2020 with a focus on the role
of life sciences and public-private partnerships. Starting with the major challenges and opportunities in healthcare, we will argue that a sustainable, excellent healthcare system goes hand-in-hand with an economically-strong health industry, especially in creating new life sciences companies and partnerships between SMEs, large companies and academia.
