The second annual SciTech Europe conference will help promote breakthrough research, successful innovation networks and potential investment opportunities. To be held at The Square, Brussels.

By linking knowledge, resources and skills we can produce harmonised research and development networks that can boost both innovation and investment opportunity. It is important that institutions, investors and companies work together and develop a long-term strategy towards scientific progress and economic growth.
