The UNITED for Health Days primarily focuses on the ‘Market of Opportunities’ exhibition, where visitors can “shop” opportunities that the different exhibitors will be offering. In parallel, there will be talks and panel discussions on the Main Stage, which visitors can attend based on their personal interests. Finally, there is a permanent VIP tent for high-level guests who will be welcomed by senior University staff and meet with other leaders in the healthcare sector.
