This high-level 1-day event aims to boost the market uptake of innovation and research outcomes by using standardization as an enabler. Leading experts in innovation and standardization will present their experiences in linking the two worlds and highlighting how each one is benefiting from the other.

Thematic parallel sessions will allow detailed insight into the various aspects of standardization for:

• Researchers eager to learn how to integrate standardization in research programmes
• Entrepreneurs looking to break into a market of 600 million consumers
