EBD Group (The leading partnering firm for the Life Science
Industry) - and Eucomed (The Voice of the Medical Technology Industry
in Europe) are pleased to announce the upcoming BioDevice Partnering
2007.
BioDevice Partnering will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, June
12-13, 2007. The conference provides an interdisciplinary forum where
international decision makers from the various healthcare industries
can meet to initiate or develop cross-sector partnerships between
their companies.
This second edition of BioDevice Partnering will strengthen the
use of organized partnering in the innovative areas of the medtech
industry, particularly where there is convergence with biotech /
pharma. The event will also explore links with other exciting
technologies that are converging into the medical device space such as
tissue regeneration, biomaterials and nanotechnology.
The success of the first edition of BioDevice Partnering in June
2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland, exceeded all expectations with 330
attendees from 214 companies representing 21 countries and confirms
BioDevice Partnering as the largest international drug-device
combination event.
BioDevice Partnering 2007 will include presentations by innovative
companies from Europe and beyond aiming to attract leading medical
device and pharmaceutical corporations, and investment companies, as
potential clients and partners.
In addition to plenary sessions and panel discussions featuring
industry leaders, company presentations and informal networking
opportunities, the event will offer EBD's fully searchable web-based
partnering system which will allow delegates to select potential
partners and pre-schedule one-on-one meetings in private booths.
The event is sponsored by firms from the medical device,
pharmaceutical, biotech, finance, legal, consulting and publishing
industries. More information will become available over the coming
weeks and we invite you to check regularly the conference website at

Entry to BioDevice Partnering 2007 is, as for other EBD
conferences, free to media, giving full access to all sessions and the
ability to request partnering meetings. Attending journalists will
also receive a complimentary delegate pack, including the complete
conference handbook.
