Innovation and SME Forum

Two people at an SME event
There are plenty of opportunities to network at our SME events

In order to support our ELIXIR members to engage with industry and to give Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) a stage to present their innovative ideas, ELIXIR hosts a series of specialised events.

These Innovation and SME Forums provide companies with the opportunity of learning more about the emerging ELIXIR services and forge strong links with the local ELIXIR Node representatives running these services.

So far, more than 800 representatives from various companies and research institutes have exchanged knowledge with ELIXIR partners across Europe at our events, including small startups, SMEs, large pharmaceutical companies and IT service providers.

90% would recommend the Forums to their colleagues
96% thought the event met their needs

50/50 mix of attendees from private sector and academia
