A multitude of topics from the tech area and beyond were tackled during the business summits days, and international experts and professionals from various business fields shared with the participants knowledge and practical examples.

During the three days of panel debates, presentations and demonstrations by innovative companies, the BrainMap Neuroscience Institute presented a state-of-the-art medical device that allows people to see what happens inside their brain and how they can "reprogram" it by changing already formed thought and behavior patterns. Another successful example was the "Manna Food Solution" session, where a groundbreaking meal replacement pill was presented, and the role of technology in the future of the food industry was debated.AGERPRES
