November 12th:
The Summit conference was held at the Carté Hotel and was featured insightful panels discussing life science, cleantech, defense, telecommunications and global collaborations.
Following the conference, an exclusive networking event took place aboard a Hornblower boat we enjoyed stunning skyline views and refreshments - a perfect setting to build meaningful connections in a relaxed atmosphere.
