Our main goal for the event is to enable attendees to connect with each other. For this purpose, the event utilizes a matchmaking platform for setting up 1-to-1 meetings and offers several parallel sessions from top researchers, promising startups and investors. This will allow participants to pick & mix presentations to their liking and reserve time for targeted 1-to-1 meetings in between and during the program.
