Bioproducts from plants and microbes
18 October 2000 - 18 October 2000
An international partnering event on 'Bioproducts from plants and microbes' will be held in Harpenden, UK, from 18 to 20 October 2000.
The event aims to help entrepreneurial life science companies and academic research groups from around the world to make the successful business contacts and alliances that are needed to commercialise their plant and microbial bioproducts. The event will comprise individual partnering meetings, a conference and a trade show.
'Advances in molecular biology give new opportunities to draw judiciously upon the world's rich genetic and natural product resources and to use the associated 'know-how' to develop novel practices and products that can be generally more efficient, more cost-competitive, better targeted, 'cleaner', and more sustainable,' say the event organisers. 'Harnessing biological resources in innovative ways can bring commercial benefits to several sectors such as pharmaceuticals and medicine, agrochemicals and crop protection, veterinary science, renewable feedstocks, industrial chemicals, food and nutrition, and environmental biotechnology.'
The Rothamsted International BioMarket will be of special interest to leaders and innovators in:
- bioscience companies;
- investment groups;
- academic research groups;
- patent/licensing organisations;
- emerging countries;
- associated service providers.
The conference will cover aspects of start-up finance, patenting issues and factors important in company growth and success. There will also be panel discussions on the future of GM products and the building of biotech capacity in developing and emerging countries. Professor Chris Somerville of the Carnegie Institution, USA will give a keynote address on the global challenges for bioproducts.
