The first-ever event devoted to the biomedical sector, biotechnology and bioinformatics in the Alpe-Adria area.
Globally, biotechnologies, the pharmaceutical industry and life sciences are facing a number of new challenges brought about by market and R&D dynamics. Euro Bio High Tech provides an answer to those challenges, by making available and showcasing dozens of research and development projects implemented by companies as well as research centres.
Goals
Innovating the market and relations among the key players, thus favouring the ongoing search for cutting-edge solutions in the field of healthcare.
Connecting the various sides of the “Biotech Smart Health” sector: the enterprises implementing innovative research projects, research centres, technological transfer departments from general hospitals co-managed by universities, CMOs (contract manufacturing organisations) and the companies connected with the world of healthcare, in view of creating new business opportunities.
Promoting the collaboration between the world of research and the national healthcare services in the Alpe-Adria countries.
Becoming an annual event at which national and local institutions, as well as those from neighbouring countries, can meet and share new technologies, applications and processes, also connected to digital innovation, in order to guarantee better and more effective healthcare services.
Why Trieste?
- Trieste lies at the heart of the largest concentration, at national and international level, of operators in the biotech sector
- because it hosts the headquarters of the Bio High Tech District, which in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region can count on a favourable ecosystem comprising over 150 companies working in the biomedical, biotechnology and bioinformatics fields, boasting overall annual sales of over 800 million Euro and more than 5,000 employed workers.
- because since 1964 the city has attracted, promoted, created and hosted a wide number of national and international institutions, which are main sector players: the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), now the Abdus Salam International Centre; the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA); the AREA Science Park; the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), having also branch locations in New Delhi and Cape Town; the CBM – Molecular Biomedicine District of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region; the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS); the Immaginario Scientifico Science Centre; the UNIDO International Centre for Science (ICS); ELETTRA an international research center specialized in generating high quality synchrotron light.
- because, owing to its privileged geographic location, the city holds a prominent role in strategic, political and economic terms, favouring direct contact with Central and Eastern European countries, with which Trieste keeps long standing fruitful institutional and economic relations, and which have allowed the city, over the past few years, to act as a bridge towards Western Europe and the European Union.
