bionection – Partnering Conference for Technology Transfer in Life Sciences
We stage the two-day conference bionection annually with the aim of highlighting transferable projects from outstanding research to potential business partners. Using pitch presentations, 1-to-1 partnering, an industry exhibition and workshops on technology transfer themes, collaboration is promoted between industry and academic research in order to encourage product-focused developments and commercialization. This partnering event is aimed at researchers, technology translators, innovative growth companies and SMEs. To learn more, go to www.bionection.com.

Business Breakfast
The biosaxony Business Breakfast is held six times a year. Members of biosaxony and network partners meet up over breakfast to discuss the latest issues. We look forward to seeing you – with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee on your arrival!
biosaxony vor Ort (biosaxony open days)
Your opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at commercial companies and research centers in Saxony! During presentations and guided tours, you can explore the sheer diversity of the life sciences sector in Saxony – and use the opportunity to introduce yourself to the biosaxony network. Free for members.
Workshops
We want to enable our network to keep abreast of all the developments and areas of the industry and to actively increase its knowledge. We therefore organize regular seminars and interactive workshops on relevant topics.
For an overview of biosaxony’s workshops and seminars, go to >>Services-Workshops<<.
BIOTECH MEETS POLITICS
Together with politicians from regional and federal government as well as representatives of the scientific community and the private sector, we debate the development of the life sciences industry in Saxony. High-level discussion takes place on the basis of reports and studies on the biotech sector in Saxony, best practice examples, current political themes, and recommendations for future growth.
BIOTECH MEETS PUBLIC
Under this motto, biosaxony hosts discussion forums aimed at both the network and the general public at unusual venues. This series of events is a platform where ideas about biotech research can be shared in an informal atmosphere.
One-time events
In addition, we supported the planning and implementation of external events as co-organizers. Below you will find selected examples from recent years.
