CLUST-ER HEALTH IN DUBAI
Expo2020 Dubai: the activities of Clust-ER Health
A story of the days that saw the Clust-ER Health in the spaces of the Italian pavilion together with the members of the Universities, the regional research centers and the National Cluster of Life Sciences Trade Winds.
The week dedicated to health and well-being of Expo 2020, held from 27 January to 2 February, was an extraordinary opportunity for networking and visibility for Clust-ER Health. Fresh from participating in Arab Health, a more vertical international situation on the healthcare world and on a rather high technical-professional level, the Clust-ER had the opportunity in the context of Expo to present in a more informative and interactive way the opportunities for internationalization in the health and wellness sector in the Emilia-Romagna Region.
As reported by Dr. Paolo Glisenti, Commissioner General of Italy at Expo:
It is a communication event, which serves to create interest, engagement and participation on the part of people, factors without which innovation and change can hardly occur”.
We have therefore fully grasped the spirit of these words, bringing the knowledge and skills present in the region and making them accessible to the general public that has passed through the spaces of the Italian Pavilion in these days.
The communication of Clust-ER Health focused mainly on the enhancement of the assets identified in the analysis carried out in collaboration with Ernst & Young in 2020, which were told through the creation of graphic and video materials, shown in the spaces of the Academy.
In the afternoon of January 28, moreover, the Clust-ER Manager Sauro Vicini presented in live streaming on the Youtube channel of the Italian Pavilion the excellences of the region with the intervention entitled “Emilia-Romagna GO HEALTHY. Assets and strengths of the regional ecosystem“.
