The aim of the conference, which is held within the framework of the Enterprise Europe Network, is to create a platform for close interaction between academia and industry and strengthen the application of the latest research results in the industrial sector.

„Life Sciences are one of the most potential sectors in the South Moravian region and globally one of the most progressive fields of research, development and innovation. Increasing importance of these sectors is reflected in the research focus of the newly developing research and development centres, “says Michal Kostka, deputy director of South Moravian Innovation Centre, who is also active in development of biotechnology entrepreneurship in South Moravia. 

The centres mentioned by Kostka include Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC), International Clinical Research Centre (FNUSA-ICRC), Biotechnology and biomedicine centre (BIOCEV), Regional Centre for Applied Molecular Oncology (RECAMO) and Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine (BIOMEDREG). These centres will have the opportunity to present the key projects that are being conducted by their research teams. The main conference partners will introduce projects such as Novel Stem Cell Technologies for Myocardial Regeneration and Bioanalytical Applications of Nanotechnology in order to outline possible cooperation and industrial partnerships.
