BIO-Europe® has grown to be recognized as Europe’s flagship partnering event. In 2022, the event made its highly anticipated return to in-person, after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The return was marked by impressive growth, making 2022 an important milestone in the event’s trajectory.
Now in its 29th edition, BIO-Europe will take place November 6–8, 2023 in Munich, Germany, and it is on track to be the largest yet. Current registration patterns not only support impressive growth, but they also reinforce the event’s international appeal: it is indeed ‘your gateway to the global biopharma community.’ Over 5,000 delegates will convene in Munich. They will be joined by an additional 800 delegates for digital partnering from November 14–15, 2023, hosted on partneringONE®.
Delegates at BIO-Europe will engage in over 27,000 one-to-one meetings to drive life science global dealmaking to new levels. Additionally, the event features one-of-a-kind networking opportunities, whether it is on the running trail, the exhibit floor, or during an evening reception.
Leading pharma companies have confirmed their attendance with larger teams than in previous years, which represents an incomparable opportunity for biotech innovators to get their breakthroughs on the world stage. Pharma companies registered to date include Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ipsen, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly & Co., Lonza, Merck, MSD, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Vetter Pharma, with others still to register.
Through three days of program sessions, attendees will learn the important trends and opportunities in the life sciences from some of the brightest minds in the sector. The agenda has been built around three themes: the Business of Biotech, Therapeutic Insights, and Ecosystem Innovation. Additionally, wellness activities will be scheduled throughout the event to keep attendees sharp for partnering and dealmaking.
One-to-one meetings at BIO-Europe are powered by partneringONE®, the gold standard solution for partnering meetings.
