BioPartnering North America is North-America’s 2nd largest conference devoted to biotechnology. The 2011 edition brought together over 800 delegates from 500 companies and 28 countries. 2,500 meetings were scheduled.
For the third year in a row, The French Trade Commission in Canada brought a delegation of biotech companies from France. 15 French delegates attended the event making France the most important European delegation.
During the three days of the conference, the 15 delegate companies made the most of the B2B meetings and networking events to develop and increase their international business relations.
On the morning of March 2nd the delegates had the opportunity to visit local research centres: BC Cancer Agency, James Hogg Centre and the University of British Columbia (Centre for Disease Modelling, MRI Research Centre).
In addition to the B2B meetings, the Ubifrance/French Trade Commission booth generated traffic, potential business and increased the visibility of the French delegation.
A great success for our delegates in 2011 and a 4th participation is already scheduled for next year.
