BioDevice Partnering 2007 – Conference Highlights

     
  The organizers have developed state-of-the-art partnering software that enables participants to select the most suitable potential partners.
     
  The software – industry-specific, Web-based and interactive – is uniquely suited for the needs of the industry.
     
  A series of 15 minute company presentations by selected innovative small and large companies. Companies will be grouped into different tracks based on therapeutic/business focus.
     
  BioDevice Partnering attracts high level faculty to panels, in which industry experts provide updated analysis of the sector and share their experience with the audience.
Topics cover partnering, finance, and other issues of importance to the industry. The BioDevice Partnering 2007 program will soon be online. Last year's agenda can be reviewed here.
     
  Sponsors have the opportunity to showcase their products, services and technologies in exhibition booths. The exhibition is open during the entire conference and is located in the centre of the venue next to the internet café, partnering terminals and refreshments.
