TTO Flanders elevator pitch session: research to business

TTO Flanders is a joint initiative of the five Flemish universities: Ghent University, University of Antwerp, KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Hasselt University. The technology transfer offices (TTOs) of these universities are responsible for the transfer of knowledge and technology from universities and associated university colleges to private and public partners. In this session, academic researchers will present their work, and the collaboration opportunities for the life sciences industry, via pitch presentations.
