Trieste

The second edition of the Innovation Meeting, organized by the PROMOS partners in collaboration with the Italian network PerfeTTO and the Austria Business Agency, is set to bring an exciting international event to Trieste for innovators in Life Sciences.

This international event, dedicated to Life Sciences and Biomedical Technology, will take place on February 4–5, 2026, at the Urban Centre in Trieste, hosted by the FVG Cluster for Life Sciences. The two-day gathering aims to further solidify Trieste’s emerging role as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and investment in the sector, while also fostering synergies between the Italian and Austrian innovation ecosystems.

Bringing together stakeholders from industry, academia, and the investment community, the event will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and structured bilateral meetings, offering extensive opportunities for knowledge exchange and partnership development.

A key highlights this year will be the presentation of successful innovation models from neighboring regions and countries. These case studies will demonstrate how early investor involvement, strong technology transfer mechanisms, and clear thematic focus can accelerate growth in Life Sciences.

Building on the success of the first event organised by Health Hub Tyrol and StartUp Tirol in Innsbruck in June 2025, the matchmaking sessions will again take centre stage. These one-on-one meetings are seen as one of the most effective ways to foster cross-border partnerships and drive future innovation.
