A must attend initiative for university, research institute, and science park Technology Transfer Officers (TTOs), Deans, Presidents and Chairmen, biotech CEOs, industry executives, bioregion’s executives and innovators and early stage entities themselves from across Europe -- the Tech Transfer Summit Europe is your key opportunity to meet with senior international industry licensing and business development executives, investors, biotech sector leaders, IP experts and serial entrepreneurs from around the world -- not just for some quick "in the box" meeting, but for 2 days in an exclusive and highly interactive setting designed specifically to disseminate knowledge, experience and best practices, and most importantly to foster licensing, partnering, technology transfer, and to provide you the relationships you need to move your company, project or technology transfer office or programme forward. 

In two days build better and stronger business relationships than in years of traveling around to conferences and regional events.

 

For industry licensing executives, external R&D Directors, business development managers, biotech CEOs seeking to fill your pipeline -- the Tech Transfer Summit Europe is your ideal source of dealflow from leading universities and research institutes across Europe!  Not just a series of presentations, but direct interaction with the innovators and technology transfer officers representing Europe's leading universities, research institutes, science parks, as well as biotech CEOs, local biotech sector leaders and industry, the Summit is an un-matched opportunity for accessing world-class European science.

 

Confirmed attendance by top industry Licensing, External Research, and Business Development Executives along with financiers and leading academic research universities and institutes verifies the Summit’s role as the premier international platform for biotech Industry-Academia partnering, licensing and collaboration. Participation in the Summit is limited.

About Tech Tansfer Summit Europe 2010

Strasbourg, France

13 - 14 December 2010

The premier meeting and benchmark for technology transfer events in the biotechnology sector, the Tech Transfer Summit Europe is the flagship event of the Global Tech Transfer Summit Iniative and is organized together with a consortium of the leading technology transfer organizations from both the public and private sectors in France, and with the support of key industry and leading technology transfer, IP, licensing and other specialized organizations from across Europe and the world. Join international experts and executives from industry, finance and IP in sourcing the best technology from across Europe and the pioneering tech transfer meeting.

Often emulated, the Tech Transfer Summit is like no other event -- do not expect a series of presentations.  The Summit initiative is founded on a few core principals:

1. Attract the most important representatives of technology transfer from across the entire region -- Technology Transfer Officers (TTOs), Innovators and Early Stage Entities alike, University and Institute Directors and Chairmen, Bioregion Directors and Local Investors
2. Actively involve senior industry licensing and business development executives, biotech CEOs, leading IP lawyers and specialists, Serial Entrepreneurs and Investors
3. Limit total participation to ensure an exclusive, qualitative high level meeting
4. Provide an incredibly interactive, engaging atmosphere conducive to real networking, relationship building, and licensing and the instigation of business development.

The Summit works by bringing together the best possible mix of participants, and allowing them to interact over 2 full days in an ideal atmosphere.  Far more effective than short meetings in a partnering box, the Summit has a reputation as one of the most important initiatives in the global event calendar.  The Summit is your direct line of access to the TTOs and other key stakeholders who are the gatekeepers to and representatives of the best biotechnology in the Europe and neighbouring countries.

For European TTOs, innovation agencies, BioRegions and other key stakeholders, the Tech Transfer Summit Europe is the most powerful platform and tool available to you in building key relationships with leading international industry licensing executives, investors, serial entrepreneurs, and world-class IP lawyers and specialists -- you cannot afford to miss the  Tech Transfer Summit Europe!
