UNIBIZ International Forum: The key for innovation 4.0: Bringing Universities and Business together to foster sustainable development

What is UNIbiz?

UNIBIZ is a learning forum that explores successful models of University-Business Collaboration in Europe.

Indeed, nowadays, universities and businesses have the chance to improve innovation, which is directly related to the well-being of the society - increasing its economic development, ensuring an inclusive labour market,creating strategies to manage global “grand challenges”...

In that frame, Latin America has made important efforts in the recent years to close the gap between universities and businesses. However, the productive ecosystem has become more complex.

UNIBIZ will bring together universities, business, and other stakeholders from Latin America and Europe to develop creative, concrete solutions to improve University-Business Collaboration, to the benefit of all.
