Building Value through Partnerships

BIO-Europe 2006 - The 12th Annual International Partnering Conference will take place November 6-8, 2006 in Duesseldorf, Germany.

Dear Dr. Harris,

Conducting business meetings at Partnering Conferences has become an intrinsic part of the business development activities of biotech and pharma executives. The largest Partnering Event in Europe is BIO’s and EBD Group’s annual BIO-Europe Conference.

The organizers have developed state-of-the-art partnering software that enables participants to select the most suitable potential partners. The system – industry-specific, Web-based and interactive – is uniquely suited for the needs of biotech and pharma companies.

Panels, workshops, company presentations and exhibits will provide you with the latest information about the industry. A high level faculty of renowned industry experts and thought leaders will discuss the latest trends and provide you with hands-on information in various workshops and panels.
CEOs of the most prominent European, Asian and North American biotech companies will present their investment and strategic alliance opportunities. And last but not least the exhibition provides you with further opportunities to network and learn about collaboration opportunities and services available.

Don’t miss out on BIO-Europe’s excellent networking opportunities and join us in Duesseldorf!
