Biowales 2012 will feature:

• An unparalleled conference programme with world-class guest speakers, researchers and companies.

• A brokerage event with pre-arranged, one-to-one meetings to discuss potential collaboration projects

• An exhibition and networking opportunities to share ideas and promote your company profile.

• Gala dinner with amazing entertainment and great speakers

The programme is designed for bioscience industry professionals and academics seeking licensing and business development opportunities or simply networking to create new connections. BioWales 2012 offers an opportunity to showcase your business, learn about the latest trends and developments in the sector and make valuable connections.

The themes this year will showcase the Welsh Government's commitment to support Innovation, Translation and Commercialisation, in particular the focus on attracting private finance and experienced investors, and on finding, creating and supporting entrepreneurs who have the skills and appetite to commercialise research and grow businesses. The event aims to provide opportunities to inspire and to drive ambition and success, and demonstrate that Wales is a key location for Life Sciences research and enterprise.

Conference and Brokerage sessions will be separate this year to enable everyone to fully participate in both.
