The organizers are talking about a new record for partnering meetings with 29,279 individual meetings, which involved more than 3,100 businesses from 69 countries. Added to that were 207 company presentations and more than 750 lectures in 125 sessions, which were divided into 16 subject areas.

LISAvienna was pleased with the large audience interest and supported the participants from Vienna with their international appearance. Comprehensive advice and the function as a hub contribute to continually develop the biotechnology industry in Vienna and to anchor it internationally.
