The 20th anniversary edition of BIO-Europe® international partnering conference wrapped up last week, November 3–5, in Frankfurt, Germany, at the Portalhaus Messe Frankfurt conference center.
The conference attracted over 3,200 leading dealmakers from 54 countries comprising 1,786 companies made up of biotech, large and midsize pharma, and finance along with emerging companies. There were approximately 18,000 one-to-one partnering meetings and 4,065 licensing opportunities on offer, an all-time record. In addition, there were 162 company presentations and 98 exhibitors at the event.
BIO-Europe is a unique industry event, where delegates from all parts of the biotechnology value chain come to quickly identify, engage and enter into strategic relationships that drive their businesses successfully forward. Investment and collaboration opportunities developed in prior BIO-Europe conferences have produced many highly successful and historic business partnerships that resulted in life-saving drugs for patients.
“This year marked the 20th anniversary of BIO-Europe, and it was our most successful event to date in terms of the caliber of attendees, the number of partnering meetings and the sheer volume of licensing opportunities brought to the table,” said Anna Chrisman , Group Managing Director, EBD Group.
“As the home of Europe’s first biotech entrepreneur, Dr. Emil von Behring, it made sense for the 20th anniversary of BIO-Europe to take place in Hessen,” said Dr. Rainer Waldschmidt , the CEO of Hessen Trade & Invest. “Frankfurt is an ideal location for drug development companies, and we were pleased to welcome a vast array of biotech and large pharma industry leaders to experience Frankfurt’s strength in and dedication to life science innovation.”
Next year’s BIO-Europe event will be held November 2–4, 2015 in Munich, Germany .
