The Link between innovative market players
OLI@Hygia becomes Connect@Hygia
For over 17 years, we have understood the demand from the private sector and we have made it our mission to serve the real needs of this environment. In this context, in 2021, we obtained accreditation as a Liaison Office with the Industry (OLI@Hygia). Following legislative changes, we continue the same journey of facilitating and providing knowledge, innovation and technology transfer through an updated identity: Connect@Hygia = Research Liaison Office.
