08 Nov BIO-Europe 2018 conference recap
The BIO-Europe conference has become a staple in the European Biotech Industry, and is now in its 24th year. Bringing together delegates from all parts of the biotechnology value chain to identify, engage and enter into strategic partnerships that support the successful growth of their businesses, BIO-Europe has established itself as Europe’s largest partnering conference and a must-attend event for the global biotechnology industry. Having taken place in Copenhagen’s Medicon Valley, one of the world’s leading life science clusters, BIO-Europe 2018 continued the success of the past years. Over the course of three action-packed days, conference participants engaged in an array of networking activities ranging from evening receptions taking place in such stunning locations as the Copenhagen city hall, the royal Danish opera house and the Lokomotivvaerkstedet, a 120-year-old Central Train Workshop, to private one-to-one meetings structured around workshops panels and discussions on cutting-edge developments in the field.
