Biotechnica - which once again takes place this year in Hannover, Germany from 9-11 October, 2007 - is the European summit of the biotech industry and bundles the know-how and expertise of the European biotech sector.
The new spirit shown by Biotechnica is demonstrated not only by its stand at this year's Interphex, but also by the fact that each party to this new German-US trade show alliance will be taking part in the other party's event.
Biotechnica has for many years been more than a trade show - it has long served as a meeting-place for all the diverse fields of biotechnology.
In addition to the exhibits, it features a high-calibre program of talks and conferences - now more comprehensive than ever - and the attractive European Biotechnica Award.
This year, for the first time, there will also be a Biotechnica partnering event with the keynote Drug Device Combination Therapy. Request a free brochure from Deutsche Messe ...
