BIOSPAIN, the largest biotechnology event in Europe and one of the largest in the world organized by a national association of bioindustries will be held at the Congresses and Exhibitions Center of Seville (FIBES) from 25 to 27 September 2018.
This year, for being held in Andalusia BIOSPAIN will be organized by ASEBIO the Spanish Association of Bioindustry in collaboration with Junta de Andalucía.
ASEBIO (member of the European Association of Bioindustries and the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations) comprises nearly 300 members representing 80% of the public and private industry among which we can find important companies, institutions and service providers.
The objective of ASEBIO is to work with national, regional and European authorities interested in using biotechnology to improve living standards, employment and environmental sustainability.
This year’s program gives an important weight to the biomedical area although a good part of it will also be devoted to agrofood and industrial biotechnology mainly in the field of bioeconomy.
The event will be attended by public and private biotechnology companies, crowdfunding companies, associations, institutes and business and research centers, consultants, advisers and representatives, as well as senior executives from the leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Companies seeking international financing or partners will have the opportunity to present their business project.
