The main purpose of the event is to bring together academia and sector representatives to ensure that the production and use of knowledge becomes more effective, sustainable and efficient.

Theoretical knowledge and research developed in academia can turn into practical solutions when transferred to the sector. Thus, scientific knowledge becomes applicable to real world problems. Therefore, "applied knowledge generation" is expected to be the most important output of the event.
