MESAP Community in Freiburg for EPoSS Annual Forum 2021: the story
This year EPoSS held its Annual Forum from 4 to 7 October in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. “Towards New Horizons“, 4 days dedicated to updates on Smart Systems Integration and networking opportunities. Also in the spotlight was the Smart Systems Integrated® collective trademark, owned by EPoSS and managed by MESAP at European level.
The trademark is licensed to Smart Systems Integration enabled products that are compliant with the regulation and have a TRL of 7 and above. Smart Systems Integrated® is a strategic tool to engage new members in EPoSS, and we are pleased to count among these MESAP members: Adgenera and Retuner by Orchestra, licensees of the trademark, and TecnoLab.
In addition to the normal conference programme, the EPoSS Start-up Award 2021 was held, attended by HYPE Srl and Evolvo, Italian start-ups from the MESAP ecosystem.
Finally, it was the occasion to officially announce the city that will host the annual event in 2022: see you in Turin! MESAP is proud to be the selected host partner for 2022.
