    The connection between science and innovation is clear, as well as the direct impact of its developments on our daily lives. However, sometimes it isn’t easy to keep up with the advancements that start-ups, consortiums and researchers are reaching nowadays.

    As one of the main goals of each November 10th is to allow citizens to be informed about the latest developments in science, we wanted to contribute by collecting some of the most disruptive innovations our clients have been working on, which received the support of organisations such as European Commission through the EIC programmes.
