About the Business Forum

BIO 2005 Business Forum is a major component of each BIO Annual International Convention. The forum offers an unparalleled opportunity for pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, academic research institutions and investors from around the world to gather in one place at one time to learn about each other and meet one-on-one to discuss business opportunities of mutual interest.

The BIO 2004 Business Forum exceeded expectations and represented the largest partnering and networking program in the industry's history.

  • 2950 people registered in the 2004 Business Forum
  • 276 companies and organizations made presentations
  • 830 companies from around the world participated in the partnering program
  • 5246 partnering meetings were scheduled by BIO

All full and session-only conference registrants are welcome in the Business Forum. There is no fee to enter, network, or attend company presentations. If you wish to participate in Partnering, the Executive Training Workshop or present, a fee will apply.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology company executives interested in identifying potential business partners as well as representatives of the financial community, academia and other industry professionals are encouraged to attend the forum.  Profiles of presenting companies and those participating in partnering will be available at the Business Forum and online in the Company Profile section of the conference Web site.
