Zurich, Switzerland, and Lille, France – January 19, 2011: EBD Group, the leading partnering firm for the global life science industry, today announced that Eurasanté, has selected partneringONE^® to be the partnering platform for the 2nd  edition of NutrEvent^®, June 15–16, 2011 in Lille, France.

NutrEvent is the only major event dedicated to innovation and research in the field of Nutrition and Health. The goal of the event is to get collaborations started among Nutrition and Health stakeholders in science, industry and regulatory affairs. NutrEvent 2011 is expected to attract approximately 1,500 international participants representing a wide diversity of industry sectors, organizations, and personal profiles.

“The convergence of scientific, industrial and regulatory skills is necessary for success in the Nutrition and Health industry. On the one hand, there are increasingly strict regulatory and scientific demands on product claims. On the other, nutraceutical companies need to show scientific and clinical validation as a guarantee of those claims. The only way to satisfy these twin challenges is through industry partnerships,” said Etienne Vervaecke, General Director of Eurasanté and General Commissioner of NutrEvent 2011.

“With partneringONE powering the partnering at NutrEvent, participants will be able to efficiently network and meet with potential partners. The outcome will be mutually profitable collaborations that help build an innovative, credible and robust Nutrition and Health industry in Europe and beyond.”

“In life science, collaboration is synonymous with innovation. This is also proving to be the rule in most other innovative industries, such as Health and Nutrition,” said Carola Schropp, President of EBD Group. “By using the partneringONE system, NutrEvent is providing a proven way to facilitate collaboration among event delegates, and also to deliver a tangible return on investment for exhibitors.”
