BIO-Europe 2020 – International Partnering Conference and Exhibition

by | Sep 28, 2020

Within successful 26 years Bio Europe has become Europe’s largest life science partnering conference. Annually held in rotating locations within Europe, this year’s version was scheduled to take place in Munich, Germany. However, due to travel restrictions and health security reasons, it was rescheduled to take place virtually from October 26 till 29,2020. Right now, as of September 23rd, 1,866 attendees and 1,127 companies from 50 countries are registered for the digital event that will bring forth virtual partnering meetings, panels featuring biotechnology and pharmaceutical experts, workshops, company presentations and showcases, as well as start-up and project pitches.

This event is an important opportunity to engage with global life science partners and get up-to-date with the latest industry trends in workshops and panels. Our office will make use of this opportunity to extend the bio-life-science network of Yokohama into Europe, introducing Yokohama’s bio-life-science strengths and business opportunities. Therefore, we will do what we can to answer questions and establish business contacts. But we are also eager to support companies from Yokohama to get in touch with European companies for project collaborations or to find business partners in order to expand their base on the European market.

You can find the introduction of five companies from Yokohama participating at Bio Europe here.

Should you have any question regarding the bio-life-science cluster LIP Yokohama, Yokohama itself or your business opportunities, schedule an appointment with us via the partnering tool or contact us directly.
