The second day of the #ClustersMeetRegions event in Wallonia is in full swing! What’s going on in Charleroi today? 🐓 Hearing from Dominique Demonte – CEO of the Brussels South Charleroi BioPark, the participants were guided through the role science parks and research centres play in accelerating and amplifying breakthroughs in innovation in Charleroi. “Money is not the primary challenge; the alignment of stakeholders and having strong research at the university level are the critical ingredients”, expressed Dominique - a clear indication of the power that clusters possess in bringing together research and business excellence. 🤝 🧬This morning’s panel on the challenges and opportunities in the European biotechnology sector delivered a powerful message, articulated by Cristelle Noirhomme, Head of Belgium Corporate Government at GSK: “Collaboration is essential at every stage of the value chain—whether it’s R&D, clinical trials, or distribution. Breakthroughs are only possible because of sustained cooperation, both nationally and internationally.” The pitching session brought dynamic presentations, each offering exciting opportunities and fertile ground for international collaboration across Europe’s regions: 🇪🇸 EQA España, Magda Rodrigues and Javier Muñoz Ledesma 🇮🇹 Select Friuli Venezia Giulia, Giulia Notaristefano 🇧🇪DataScouts, Ingrid Willems President of EURADA - European Association of Development Agencies, Theo Föllings, underscored the key takeaway of this dynamic event: “It’s all about the RDAs, the clusters, the infrastructure – if you want to be a successful region, you have to cooperate with all of your partners”.
