Biotech is growing more complex as western start-ups race to source Asian assets, even as geopolitical tensions challenge globalization, data sharing and cross-border talent exchange. What’s next for European biotech? Can it rise to these current challenges? Can it match the growing competition and walk the fine line of geopolitics?

Bio€quity Europe is the destination event for biopharma decision-makers to network, partner and debate critical issues facing the biotech industry. It is celebrating its 25th anniversary edition right here in Bruges, with MEDVIA and flandersbio acting as co-organizers!

Find us in these sessions:
