CERN Accelerating science

In April 2014, for the first time, CERN and ESA took part together to the Hannover Messe, one of the world`s largest industrial fairs (170000 visitors). The stand was organized by the Technology Transfer Offices of the two Organizations as a first visible implementation of a bilateral collaboration agreement recently signed. Several spin-off companies from both Organizations could promote their products on the stand and some very high potential impact technologies were showcased (including for instance the advanced composite materials under development in the frame of EuCARD-2).
