Workshop on EU Robotics Cluster Regions


21 November


Pavilhão do Conhecimento

As part of RoCKIn2015, we will be holding a Workshop on EU Robotics Cluster Regions. Organized by Madeeli, its main focus will be on bringing together innovative Portuguese robotics companies, along with end-users and investors, to help establish a Robotics Cluster in Portugal and provide opportunities for technology transfer - making academic research into industrial products.

Lisbon is promoting its worldwide image of being a 'Startup City' and the Town Hall is nurturing this initiative. So while you're visiting RoCKIn2015, take the opportunity to network with some of the best Portuguese entrepreneurs in robotics and perhaps create connections for joint ventures in the future.
