After attending a successful pre-departure workshop, a group of 15 top-notch European companies is ready to enter the USA market with the support of the European Innovation Council (EIC), as San Diego prepares to host the annual BIO International Convention, from 3 to 6 June 2024.
The annual BIO International Convention, which attracts over 20,000 attendees from over 70 countries, is the must-attend event for the biotechnology sector. Key players in the biopharmaceutical industry come together for the purpose of discussing market trends and fostering business flows. Through EIC International Trade fairs and USA Soft-landing the selected companies have access to exclusive networking opportunities, support in preparing their expansion in the US market and promotional communication activities to help increase their visibility.
The 15 participating companies that will exhibit their advanced products and trending technologies come from the biotechnology and biomanufacturing industries:
The chosen companies are receiving tailored support through onboarding calls and a pre-departure briefing, which took place on 16 April 2024. During this workshop, companies had the chance to connect with one another, share insights with former OTF 2.0 and ITF3.0 participants, and receive guidance on event logistics. The briefing offered comprehensive market insights and training on navigating the US corporate culture.
