'A Grand Day Out' at BioSeed 2022! |
| What a great way to kick off the year! BioSeed saw just under 200 investors and early stage companies gathered in person at County Hall on Tuesday 25 January for a full day of business and networking.
Jason Brown, SVP Business Development at Evotec gave an insightful and inspiring keynote, and the overall standard of presentations was uniformly high with some fascinating pitches. It was also great to have sponsored sessions devoted to companies from the BioInnovation Institute in Denmark and from Switzerland. If you missed the event take a look at the presenting companies here.
It was great to see so many of you in person and we already looking forward to next year’s event! |
