highlighted the need of alternative ways of interaction among healthcare professionals,
healthcare Industries and the community at large (virtualization of scientific events,
virtual showcases, digital upskill…). We are therefore also looking for breakthrough
solutions for new interactions, knowledge sharing, event management and learning.
