The swisstech pavilion at BIO 2022 in San Diego features 21 leading Swiss startups focussing on therapeutics as well as tools and services based on AI or micro-gravity. The event gives companies the platform to showcase their innovations and network with a global audience to forge partnerships or attract investors and customers.
After a successful online event last year – with over 6,000 participants from at least 55 countries – this year’s conference takes place on-site in San Diego, California, from June 13-16. Under the theme LIMITLESS, the BIO International Convention brings together players in the biotechnology sector to connect, learn and present their innovations. Companies will also have the opportunity to discuss their pipeline, R&D activities, and future fundraising goals with potential investors and partners.
