MicroSummit 2024 is a pioneering initiative of the Portuguese Society of Microbiology aiming at bridging academia and the business sectors, therefore creating opportunities for strengthening knowledge transfer, co-creation and employment of microbiologists.
The event is designed for all microbiologists willing to use their knowledge and capabilities to aid and support microbiology companies, generate economic value and promote (self)-employment.
This one-day event includes two thematic symposia, one dedicated to entrepreneurship and the other to academia-company partnerships. Important players in the field will share their visions and experience. Entrepreneurs will be challenged to present their innovative ideas.
