The session, “Science-Based Innovation: From Research Infrastructures to Market-Oriented Solutions<\/strong>” highlighted Catalonia\u2019s strong potential to transform research into market-driven innovation, thanks to universities, hospitals, technology centres, and major infrastructures such as the ALBA Synchrotron.<\/p>\n

Speakers agreed that challenges remain in public-private collaboration, particularly in aligning the interests of researchers with the needs of industry. They emphasised the importance of companies clearly identifying the challenges to be addressed, and of researchers having a better understanding of market demands to ensure the viability and continuity of projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The need to strengthen ALBA Synchrotron\u2019s communication efforts was also underlined, in order to showcase its industrial value and attract more companies, with initiatives such as hackathons that connect research with real business needs.<\/p>\n

An inspiring session that shows how scientific infrastructure can become a driver of innovation and urban health, turning research into market-oriented solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
