Science Business
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Science Business is a media network created to help Europe innovate. It is the first independent news service that creates an environment where innovation professionals in Europe can connect - through its online news coverage, its consultancy and its exclusive networking events. Launched in 2005, Science Business is led by Richard L. Hudson and Peter Wrobel, former managing editors of the Wall Street Journal Europe and science journal Nature. Science Business is read by university, corporate and policy professionals involved in European innovation.
