Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste actively participated in the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) 2024, held in Trieste from October 1-4, bringing together key stakeholders from research infrastructures and industries. The event aimed to foster collaboration and explore business opportunities, with a strong focus on innovation, technology transfer, and strengthening ties between academia and industry. Elettra's involvement in the forum was an opportunity to highlight its cutting-edge contributions to synchrotron radiation research, while showcasing advancements through a dedicated stand, enabling discussions on potential partnerships.

One of the key moments for Elettra was the participation of Marco Peloi, Head of Industrial Liaison, in the satellite event organized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) on the first day. The event, titled "The Role of Academia and Industry to Inspire the Next Generation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)", addressed the importance of collaboration between research and industry. Peloi emphasized the benefits of these synergies in driving innovation, providing new energy to the sector, and enhancing the development of STEM-related professions.

The official opening of BSBF 2024 on October 2 was attended by prominent figures from the Italian science and research community, including Massimiliano Fedriga, President of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and local authorities. Caterina Petrillo, President of Area Science Park, underscored the importance of Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste as a leading research facility within the park, aligning with the park's mission to bridge research and industry.

Elettra's role in the session “Affiliated Big Science Organizations (ABSOs call) II” was particularly noteworthy. Giorgio Paolucci, Elettra’s Chief Scientific Officer, presented the Elettra 2.0 project, which promises to revolutionize scientific research with a new low-emittance storage ring. This technological upgrade will provide a more coherent, collimated, and intense radiation beam, paving the way for significant advances in various scientific and technological fields.

In another session focused on “Innovative & Green Procurement and Public/Private Partnerships,” Marco Peloi shared insights on how procurement can drive innovation within research infrastructures. Using the example of Beam Position Monitor (BPM) development for Elettra 2.0, Peloi highlighted the importance of innovation partnerships between industry and research institutions. This collaborative procurement model not only fosters the co-creation of cutting-edge technologies but also overcomes traditional procurement barriers, benefiting both parties and advancing the field.

The BSBF 2024, co-organized by major European research organizations, including CERN, ESA, and ESO, in collaboration with the Pan-European Network of national Industry Liaison Officers (PERIIA), provided a comprehensive platform for exploring future collaborations and business opportunities in the research sector. Through its active participation, Elettra demonstrated its commitment to pushing the boundaries of scientific research and fostering innovation through strategic partnerships.
