Biotechnet Meet-Up 2023 Verified listing

Impressions of the Biotechnet Meet-Up

Join us on January 31, 2023 to connect with Swiss universities and research organizations active in biotech!

In the spotlight this year is our new Data Science for Biotech platform, along with keynote speakers focusing on how digital technologies are transforming biotechnology. A panel of SMEs will discuss public-private biotech R&D.

Our technology platforms will present their latest research and events - this is a great opportunity to discuss new project ideas with key actors at Swiss universities and research organizations.

The event is open to members, researchers and industry interested in conducting projects with us. The event is free but registration is required.
