Why host an Innovation After-Work Event at theUM ?
The University of Montpellier ranks first among French universities in the global ranking of universities making the greatest efforts to advance science, invent new technologies, and help drive the growth of the global economy (2019 Reuters ranking). It is also one of five universities in a University Innovation Cluster (PUI). The “afterwork” event is one of the PUI’s initiatives—an annual gathering where researchers, companies, partners, and local authorities come together to discuss innovation, commercialization, partnerships, and entrepreneurship, during which the Innovation Awards are presented to the winners.
