The Meet in Italy for Life Sciences 2016, held in Roma at the end of October, closed confirming the success of the previous two editions, growing in the participating organizations, countries, and partners involved. The two novelties of this edition, the start-up’s boot camp and pitch sessions and the thematic workshops during the two days of bilateral meetings, were also quite successful, with considerable attendance. The event was a great opportunity for networking & disseminating Beia’s ongoing projects, including SWITCH.
