BIO KOREA 2011 Conference & Exhibition at COEX, Seoul, Korea

BIO KOREA 2011 Overview

 

BIO INDUSTRY, the next generation growth engine for the future!

 

"BIO KOREA” was launched to provide a foundation for Korea to become one of the top 5 bio powers by 2016 and vitalize the Korean bio industry. It is marking its 5th anniversary this year. BIO KOREA, consisting of exhibition, conference, business forum, and various additional events, is cementing its status as a world class bio event both in name and reality.

 

We expect more major policy makers, government employees, bio industry managers, and experts at home and abroad to participate in BIO KOREA 2011 that starts from the first to the third of September 2011. This time, we have in place a platform for commercializing of global information and technologies. We hope this would improve investment based on global trends.

 

We hope BIO KOREA will be an event to attract investments, promote your products and technology, facilitate technological businesses and secure the present and future of the global bio industry.
