International Business Matchmaker Service at BIO2008

The world's largest marketplace and idea exchange for the biotech industry, BIO2008, will be held in San Diego, June 17-20, 2008. Participants will have the opportunity to make contacts with potential joint venture partners, investors, academics and researchers, and customers from over 60 countries. To help Wisconsin attendees identify key contacts from among the 20,000+ participants and schedule one-on-one business meetings with international counterparts that may have complimentary interests, the Wisconsin Department of Commerce is again offering the International Business Matchmaker (IBM) Service. We will work with our overseas trade offices and other international contacts to introduce Wisconsin's biotech community to key players from Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, and elsewhere in order to maximize international business contacts at BIO. The IBM Service is free of charge and will be available during all three days of the conference.
