Adapter club #2: Health innovation in collaboration with science

This event is in Estonian

The health and food sector is rapidly evolving and is playing an increasingly important role in shaping both people’s well-being and the future opportunities of businesses. Science-based collaboration opens up new possibilities for innovation – from health-supporting food solutions to smart prevention and health technologies. At the club event “Health Innovation in Collaboration with Science,” we bring together companies and researchers to discuss how to combine knowledge, opportunities, and practical experience to create new solutions.
