BIOTECHNICA - Europe´s leading event for biotechnology - is extending its international partnering program. To this end, the organizers of BIOTECHNICA, Deutsche Messe AG Hannover, are collaborating with EBD Group AG, the leading partnering specialists in the worldwide biotech industry. Using the web–based information and contact portal partneringONETM, developed by EBD Group, BIOTECHNICA will this year be able to offer a best–in–class platform for facilitating contacts among exhibitors, major life sciences companies and visitors to BIOTECHNICA.
Stephan Ph. Kühne, Board member of Deutsche Messe AG, explained: "The partnering program will be open to all participants of BIOTECHNICA, irrespective of whether they are seeking new partners in business, distribution, financing or research".
partneringONE is regarded as the leading conference partnering service for the life sciences industry, enabling delegates to efficiently meet and do business. Combining the industry´s most advanced collaboration software with best practice implementation, partneringONE turns any conference into a world–class partnering event. The web–based system helps companies find potential business partners and products of interest, and contact other participants well before the event, thus making it possible to pre–arrange appointments to be held during the fair. After the event the platform remains open as a vehicle for reviewing activity.
"We are delighted to be working with Deutsche Messe to bring the power of partneringONE to all participants of BIOTECHNICA. Using EBD Group´s best–in–class partnering service, Deutsche Messe is ensuring that BIOTECHNICA, Europe´s largest biotech trade show, gains a partnering facility that is aligned with, and supports, its excellent reputation," said Carola Schropp, President of EBD Group.
In contrast to last year´s BIOTECHNICA, the partnering program is not a separate event and instead will be fully integrated into the exhibition. The partneringONE system arranges meetings that can take place directly at the exhibitors´ stands, in special open meeting areas in the exhibition hall or in meeting rooms, while taking into account individual agendas of the participants.
The partnering program is one of the four columns of BIOTECHNICA, which comprise a first–class exhibition, a conference program, partnering and the award presentation. It is an excellent annual platform for establishing business contacts, as well as for knowledge transfer and product presentations.
