Tech site visits
How a visit works
A tech site visit takes half a day and is hosted by a company in the Greater Region that offers a particular technology or know-how and is looking for partners or customers. We put the programme together with the host and invite companies for whom the topic or the host’s solutions are relevant; the list of participants is agreed with the host.
