In order to support our ELIXIR members to engage with industry and to give Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) a stage to present their innovative ideas, ELIXIR hosts a series of specialised events.
These Innovation and SME Forums provide companies with the opportunity of learning more about the emerging ELIXIR services and forge strong links with the local ELIXIR Node representatives running these services.
So far, more than 800 representatives from various companies and research institutes have exchanged knowledge with ELIXIR partners across Europe at our events, including small startups, SMEs, large pharmaceutical companies and IT service providers.
There are plenty of opportunities to network at our SME events
