Hello,
We are pleased to report that Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster participated in the BIO International Convention 2025 held from June 16 to June 19 in Boston, USA. The BIO International Convention is one of the world’s largest biotechnology industry events, bringing together cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and global business collaboration opportunities.
At our booth, together with Osaka Prefecture, we promoted the Kansai life science ecosystem and KBIC’s member companies who are seeking strategic partners overseas. During the convention, many visitors stopped by, and we had the opportunity to receive valuable feedback and questions. The event also allowed us to engage in meaningful interactions with companies from both Japan and abroad.
We sincerely thank everyone who visited our booth and we look forward to staying in touch and continued engagement!
