Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster LogoKobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster (KBIC) at MEDICA2016

Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster (KBIC) will exhibit at MEDICA2016 (Hall16-B51) from the 14 to 17 November 2016 in Dusseldorf, Germany, with 11 medical-related member companies (see below) and JETRO Kobe (Japan External Trade Organization, Kobe Office) in order to give them the opportunities for business matching and encourage EU companies to expand into the Japanese market through KBIC .

KBIC is the largest biomedical/life science cluster in Japan. Kobe's location nestled between the mountains and sea gives the city beautiful natural diversity - skiing on Mt. Rokko, relaxing in Arima Hot Springs, or playing at the beach. City of Kobe has flourished as an international hub port and opened to people from all over the world. National research institutes such as “Riken”, universities, colleges, hospitals as well as member companies’ R&D bases are located in this area. The number of the bases of related companies amounts to more than 300. Some global companies, for instance, Boehringer Ingelheim, St.Jude and Covidien have also R&D research institutes and training centers there. In addition, it is easy to secure human resources and find ideal partners. KBIC is strategically focusing on the following three fields: innovative drug discovery, regenerative medicine & tissue engineering, and minimally invasive medical device development.

KBIC’s key-organizations such as FBRI (Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation), Kobe City and SME Support (Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation) can provide support for business development with:
- Continuous follow-up to business partnering with other member companies and local firms
- Introduction of a wide range of specialists in technical, regulatory & tax fields.
- A business support system from experienced coordinators and advisors able to satisfy any requirements.

KBIC is looking forward to welcome EU visitors at their booth in HALL16-B51 at MEDICA2016.
