Over the past 30 years, BIO-Europe has established itself as Europe’s leading partnering event for the life sciences industry. With participants from across the global biotechnology value chain, the conference offers a unique platform to identify opportunities, build strategic partnerships, and drive business growth.
BIO-Europe brings together professionals from across the life sciences ecosystem, including biotech and pharmaceutical companies, start-up founders, investors, academic researchers, and industry service providers seeking to connect, collaborate, and explore new partnerships.
Participants can take advantage of a wide range of networking opportunities, including pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, networking receptions, panel discussions, company presentations, and side events. These formats are designed to foster meaningful connections and facilitate the exchange of insights across the international biopharma community.
BIO-Europe is organized by EBD Group / Informa Connect, a global leader in events, digital platforms, and partnering services for the life sciences industry, with the support of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO).
