BioPartner.co.uk Ltd. is the only independent organisation in the UK that supports internationalisation of biotechnology across all sectors and all UK regions.

Internationalisation is critical to success for UK Lifescience companies, and major international partnering conferences are key starting points for seeking collaborations, new business and finance. At our annual dinner and discussion forum last week in Stratford-on-Avon, delegates agreed that it is the early stage of internationalisation that is most difficult for small companies. In this newsletter we have set out 5 events in the autumn conference season where you can get significant discounts on entry fees as a member of our BioPartnership Programme: you will get additional support from BioPartner at two of these, as part of a UK Delegation.
