Around 1,500 professionals from the biotechnology sector, coming from 35 countries, will take part in BIOSPAIN 2008, internationally one of the most important events of the sector, which will open its doors from September 17th to 19th in Granada's Congress and Exhibition Centre (Palacio de Congresos. Avda. del Violón, s/n).

During these three days researchers, companies, public institutions, financial organizations and other agents involved in the biotech development will establish contacts, create synergies, attract clients and investors, and present the innovations of a sector with excellent growth prospects.

BIOSPAIN 2008 is structured into five modules that include a Scientific Congress (BIOTEC 2008), a series of Plenary Sessions in which international biotech experts will take part, a wide Commercial Exhibition, an Investors Forum and an area for Business Development.

The event will also have a parallel program consisting of conferences, presentations and technical lectures sponsored by companies and institutions, which will complete the activities of the event.

The Spanish Association of Bioenterprises (ASEBIO) organizes the fourth edition of BIOSPAIN in collaboration with the Innovation and Development Agency for Andalusia (Spanish initials IDEA), the Spanish Society of Biotechnology (Spanish initials SEBIOT), the Spanish Agency for Attraction and Promotion of Foreign Investments (INTERES), GENOMA Spain, Farmaindustria and Granada Health Science Technological Park.

In its third edition, held in Madrid in September 2006, BIOSPAIN brought together 1,000 visitors of 20 nationalities and 40 exhibitors. In 2008, the organization expects a significant increase in attendance. To achieve these results, it relies on the support of academicians and professionals, public and private institutions, and national and international organizations that represent every biotechnology field.
