Με μεγάλη μας χαρά σας προσκαλούμε στην εκδήλωση με τίτλο ” Qualcomm and Applied Materials at Thessaloniki: Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry” που θα πραγματοποιηθεί τη Δευτέρα, 12 Ιουνίου 2023, στην αίθουσα “Aιμίλιος Ριάδης” στο Διεθνές Εκθεσιακό & Συνεδριακό Κέντρο της ΔΕΘ HELEXPO. Η εκδήλωση θα ξεκινήσει στις 9.15 και θα ολοκληρωθεί στις 13.30.
Το πρόγραμμα της εκδήλωσης περιλαμβάνει παρουσιάσεις από ορισμένους εκ των κορυφαίων στελεχών παγκόσμιων τεχνολογικών εταιρειών, της Applied Materials και της Qualcomm. Οι ομιλητές θα μοιραστούν τις γνώσεις, τις εμπειρίες και το όραμά τους σχετικά με τον τρόπο με τον οποίο ο ακαδημαϊκός κόσμος και η βιομηχανία μπορούν να συνεργαστούν για να προωθήσουν την καινοτομία και την επιχειρηματικότητα.
Στόχος αυτής της εκδήλωσης είναι να γίνει ένας ανοιχτός διάλογος μεταξύ ερευνητών και επαγγελματιών της βιομηχανίας (έχουν προσκληθεί και εταιρίες της Θεσσαλονίκης) ώστε να δημιουργηθούν οι κατάλληλες συνεργασίες που θα οδηγήσουν στην επιτυχή μετάβαση των ερευνητικών ιδεών από τον ακαδημαϊκό κόσμο σε πραγματικές εφαρμογές.
Θα χαρούμε πολύ να παρευρεθείτε στην εκδήλωση.
