BIO Announces First Biotechnology Partnering Event in India
The Bio® India International Partnering Conference will bring together industry leaders from North America, Europe and Asia
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) announces a two-day annual biotechnology partnering meeting to be held in Hyderabad, India on September 21-22. The Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE), a national forum that represents the Indian biotechnology sector, will participate as the local host.
"This exclusive forum is the first of its kind in India. This event will bring together biotechnology and pharmaceutical leaders to explore business opportunities with India's life science companies," said Alan Eisenberg, BIO's executive vice president of Emerging Companies and Business Development. "India's biotech and pharmaceutical space is world class, and the number and type of collaborations between Indian and US or EU companies has grown rapidly in the past few years. We are seeing an increased number of discovery-based deals and innovative structures, in addition to development alliances. So, launching the Bio® India International Partnering Conference builds on a tremendous amount of existing activity led by Indian companies."
The meeting will bring together biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies from the US, Europe and Asia to explore potential partnerships and collaborations. Private one-on-one meetings between investors, large biotech and pharmaceutical companies and emerging Indian biotech companies will be arranged through BIO's new state-of-the-art software.
