R2B – Research to Business, the International Exhibition on Research and High Skills for Innovation, is the leading event for research and innovation. It is promoted by the Emilia-Romagna Region and organized by ART-ER Attractiveness Research Territory, in collaboration with BolognaFiere.

In 2025, the event celebrates its 20th anniversary and reaffirms its role as an annual meeting point for the national and international innovation community. It brings together experts, businesses, institutions, and academics to tackle future challenges and seize emerging opportunities in technology and knowledge.

R2B features a FLEXIBLE FORMAT, designed to bring together a wide range of innovation-related activities in a single setting: strategic vision sessions, technical workshops, closed-door meetings, interactive labs, and exhibition areas. It is also an opportunity to explore new ways of meeting and collaborating, responding to the needs of a constantly evolving community; a TOOL FOR GROWTH AND ENHANCEMENT, fostering collaboration among key players in the research and innovation ecosystem, promoting the concrete application of results, and creating shared value; a PLACE FOR WORK AND EXCHANGE, where ideas, skills, and visions converge to shape new initiatives and collectively build the future of innovation.

Participation in R2B is free of charge, subject to registration.
