Start dedicated on the one hand to the presentation of the regional system, strongly vocated to innovation and research, as well as the Texan reality, in the meeting with the Greater Houston Partnership, an association that groups 900 companies in an area extended in 12 counties, to accompany our companies in the internationalization process and attract investments in Emilia-Romagna. On the other to the new frontiers of life sciences: precision medicine, telemedicine, gene therapy. Very strong health chains in Texas and in Emilia-Romagna, a region that sees the presence of one of the most important biomedical districts in Europe, large companies in the pharmaceutical sector, emerging technological niches such as those of regenerative medicine: a sector that employs 120 thousand people and is seeing constant growth in its exports.

Together with the excellence of regional public health and the collaborative relationships already active with facilities present in Houston, at the forefront of the world.
