In Osaka, the partnering conference attracted 168 European participants - Germany with 34 as the second-largest national contingent.
At BioJapan, BioM and Bayern International presented six Bavarian companies – among them Ascenion GmbH, Granzer Regulatory Consulting & Services, Iris Biotech GmbH, IGES Institut GmbH, PATERIS Patentanwälte PartmbB and PAN-Biotech GmbH – at the Bavarian joint booth. BioM was also active in several sessions, including the Biocluster Summit and a Startup Support Session, and hosted a popular “Bavarian Happy Hour” networking event, connecting Japanese and Bavarian delegates.
