16 May 2018, Florence (Italy) | European Photonics Roadshow Florence
The first European Photonics Roadshow organised by the EPRISE project team was held in Florence, Italy, and it was focused on the Agriculture and Food markets. The event was hosted by the CNR IFAC team, together with the Tuscany Region.
The main goal of this event was to provide SMEs with solutions on how to overcome market entry barriers in photonics. Pre-arranged business to business meetings were organised, in order to stimulate and strengthen collaborations along the value chain, with end users and integrators, by fostering collaboration between different stakeholders, at regional, national and European levels.
A panel of international experts presented different topics: ethical issues in research projects concerning food and environment; current and future trends in investments in innovations; intellectual properties issues; sharing the genetic resources; the importance of photonics and technology in AgriFood; how to prepare a good presentation to the investors.
The Project Coordinator was at the event and presented MOLOKO project to the audience.
