Workshop will highlight a number of unanswered questions: Why are we seeing global Pharma decamp from the UK in terms of their research base, when accessing innovation is their life blood? Why is there a relative dearth of drug discovery and development companies being backed by private investors in the UK? If there was M&A in the tech transfer office sphere, would the UK be seen by Pharma and investors as a true and accessible supercluster? Learning from past performance, current Pharma and investor appetite trends and experienced technology transfer leaders on their current views, this seminar will seek to answer the above questions on how the UK can remain in the premier league of global biotech clusters, attracting and retaining investors, Pharma and biotech executive talent.

The era of biofuels and bio-based chemicals has arrived. These include fine and bulk chemicals, solvents, bio-plastics, vitamins, food additives, bio-pesticides and liquid biofuels such as bio-ethanol and bio-diesel. Industrial biotechnology applies the tools of biology to develop innovative processes and products in a cost-efficient and eco-efficient manner, using sustainable feedstocks. The integration of disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology, and process technology to develop processes and products, based on microbial, animal or plant cells, their organelles or enzymes as biocatalysts is at the core of the development of industrial biotechnology. BIOCOM and BayBio are bringing you a day and a half conference that will combine the business, research and investment aspects in the industrial biotech companies through panel discussions, partnering opportunities and ample networking opportunities to extend your relationships.
