It was a great honor to have the story of Protavio presented at the Rectors’ Meeting held at the University of Patras in July. In this meeting, Leonidas Alexopoulos, Professor at NTUA, presented in a special Session on Entrepreneurship & Innovation the history of Protavio: “From research to the production of diagnostic products : The story of Protavio and the knowledge gained on the journey from research to business”. The aim of the session was the exchange of views of all participating parties to propose measures and adopt good practices in order for universities to be helpful in all stages of the research translation pipeline. Greece is changing, and we are happy to be part of this change!
