In the framework of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of Europe, WALLONIA organised, in collaboration with the European Commission, an international conference focusing on the needs of “Small and Medium-sized Enterprises” around the twin themes of “Research” and “Innovation”.
The conference was organized into three sessions:
- I have an idea!
- How to turn that idea into a reality?
- Meeting market and societal challenges
Aleardo Furlani, CEO of INNOVA, was a selected speaker by the European Commission, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of Europe and the Wallonia Region, in the round table entitled “How to turn my idea into reality” where he was able to exchange valuable know-how and expertise.
The conference resulted in an interesting opportunity to exchange useful ideas with a special emphasis on the central theme of turning knowledge into profit and to debate on the 3 key elements that identify successful SMEs: the idea, the network and the market.
