RTI is undertaking an initial business development mission to New Zealand from February 20 – 24 2012. RTI seeks to develop collaborative research partnerships, joint IP development opportunities, and commercial partnerships. In the long term, RTI is looking to establish a satellite campus or joint venture in our region. To assist RTI meet as many contacts as possible while they are in NZ, NZBIO has organised a breakfast presentation on the morning Monday 20th February to allow you the opportunity to meet and network with the RTI delegation.

NZBIO is one of New Zealand’s largest and most vibrant annual conferences and is well established as the premier showcase for the New Zealand bio-based industries.

BioBriefing is a one-day course for the non-scientist which highlights science and technology concepts that are the basis of the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries.

This workshop is aimed at giving senior executives of biotechnology organisations a high level overview of digital & social media; why it has an impact (even if you’re not actively participating); how to manage the risks; and how to harness it to positively impact your company.

NZBIO is pleased to offer a satellite event on Doing Business in Asia: A Life Science Perspective.
