Description
Following the successful results of previous editions, the EU-Japan Centre is organizing a new session of its Biotech Business Mission to Japan targeting the red biotech sectors.
This mission is a great opportunity for EU businesses operating in Pharma, Biotechnologies, and Life Sciences sectors to showcase their products and services first in Osaka, Japan's historical pharmaceutical powerhouse, during a dedicated EU-Japan Biotech Conference, and then in Yokohama while exhibiting in a joint booth under the EU-Japan Centre umbrella during the BioJapan Expo (https://jcd-expo.jp/en/), the largest biotech partnering event in Japan.
The mission will give EU companies and clusters the opportunity to enter the Japanese market or further develop their ongoing activities in the country, and establish technology or business partnerships and therefore increase their innovation capacity and make them more competitive on the global scale.
