Science|Business Launches Sector Days to Enhance Innovation Dialogue in Europe

Science|Business has introduced a series of public conferences and Sector Days focused on Digital, the Green Deal & Climate, and Health & Life Sciences, aimed at fostering collaboration among leaders in research, industry, and policy. These events, held in Brussels and other EU capitals, provide organizations with a platform to engage in strategic policy discussions and enhance their visibility within Europe’s innovation landscape. The initiative is designed to position participants as key stakeholders in the evolving context of EU and international policy developments. The Sector Days feature a diverse network of 75 leading companies, research-intensive universities, and public agencies, enriching the dialogue with a wide range of perspectives. Participants can benefit from comprehensive service packages that include editorial coverage, high-level networking opportunities, and targeted media outreach. Sponsorship options are also available, offering branding benefits to organizations looking to increase their presence in the innovation community. In May, the inaugural S|B Digital Sector Days highlighted the theme "Europe in the digital world," where IP Europe hosted a session on the licensing of standards essential patents. This event facilitated a high-level debate among academics, research organizations, and EU policymakers, focusing on the implications of the European Commission's proposals for open standards and innovation. The collaboration with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) during the Science|Business February Annual Network Conference underscored ECMWF's significant role in the DestinE project, which integrates digital, climate, space, and research initiatives. This partnership aimed to showcase ECMWF's contributions to the EU and international research community while fostering connections with key decision-makers.
