Cosa dicono di noi:

“It has been a busy 12 months for industrial property consultancy Bugnion, having recently embarked on a merger with Cuccia & Simino, which will further strengthen the group’s robust offering and add to an already deep bench.

A testament to its strength and sterling reputation is the work it has been doing with Horizon IP Scan, where three Bugnion specialists, including Cristina Biggi, have been selected by the European Commission to contribute their expertise to supporting start-ups and SMEs in EU-funded partnership research projects. Milan-based Biggi has a profound understanding of the life sciences and is an excellent port of call for pharmaceutical work.”
