This edition of Bioforum is organized in collaboration with Assobiotec,
the Association of the field, that is involving its own national and
international relationship network and is defining a masterplan with
opening and closing plenary sessions.
Bioforum also relies upon an influential honour committee; meetings
1to1; business presentations; Bio&pharma Days for young graduates and
researchers...

I think that the participation to the two events dedicated to the
innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises and to the spread of
this knowledge can be very important and I'm grateful for your help in
