Meet Testonica at the BSBF2024 Trade Fair in Trieste this week in Hall 27, Booth A10. The Big Science Business Forum is the biennial meeting place for industry and academia willing to contribute to scientific breakthroughs but also to capitalize on developing and delivering cutting-edge technologies and expertise to key players in the BigScience.

 

The exhibition is complemented by an excellent conference and B2B networking program. The whole spirit of the event is driven by the need to establish a common market across all Big Science infrastructure projects to interconnect a highly fragmented sector into a harmonized 50 billion worth marketplace following common procurement principles and operation standards affordable even for smaller companies (SMEs).

 

The BSBF2024 event's backbone is formed by such exhibitors as the European Space Agency - ESA, European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), Fusion for Energy (F4E), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the ESRF - The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (European XFEL), the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH (FAIR), the ILL - Institut Laue Langevin and the Square Kilometre Array Observatory ( SKAO - SKA Observatory). Together, they complied a BSBF2024 Procurement Handbook providing an easy-to-read introduction to Big Science Organisations and steps to be taken to initiate contacts and monitor calls for tenders and establish collaborative platforms for bidding.

 

Testonica has contributed to delivering solutions in the form of custom electronics, firmware, drivers and other software to CERN, ESA and ESS. We are happy to witness the new developments on the landscape of large research infrastructure projects (see more at https://www.esfri.eu).
