Space Tech & 5G: the next frontier (Barcelona Innovation Day)
11 November 2021 - 10:25 // 11:25
What’s hot in space research and innovation in Shanghai and Barcelona? How will these technologies shape the future of society?
The Barcelona Innovation Day / Shanghai 2021 is a high-level forum that brought together the most prominent stakeholders from academia, startups, industry, and public institutions from Barcelona and Shanghai to strengthen relationships between both ecosystems; promote the excellence of their research institutions, universities and companies; showcase best practices in science, innovation and higher education; engage with Barcelona’s science diaspora in the area; and support the active engagement of SciTech DiploHub partners in the international exchange of knowledge, ideas and talent.
Shanghai and Barcelona are global hubs with vibrant science, technology, research and innovation ecosystems. How can these ecosystems learn from each other in the pandemic aftermath? How can life sciences and patient-centric innovation be empowered in both cities? What challenges are relevant for education after COVID-19? What can we learn from the emerging space tech and fintech sectors in Europe and China? How do Smart Cities interact with disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Big Data? These are some of the topics explored in the Barcelona Innovation Day – Shanghai!
