Belgian Life Sciences Day

10th June 2022, Boston

Did you know that Belgium is a vibrant and innovative ecosystem in health and life sciences? 

Belgium is serving as a covid vaccine production powerhouse to fight the pandemic. The Belgian biopharma industry has been the leader for the European market for the 5th year in a row.

Top Belgian life sciences companies will host a full-day event at the MassBio Hub on June 10th with the aim to meet and engage US companies and to develop partnerships. This event is taking place within the biggest Belgian trade mission ever organized, chaired by HRH Princess Astrid, with a delegation of more than 250 companies.

It will be an opportunity to learn, meet and network with CEOs of established and promising life science companies. (http://www.investinwallonia.be/key-sectors/life-sciences/belgian-economic-mission-life-sciences-usa?organization=3&application=#card-9 )

The program includes conferences, seminars and B2B meetings, and, will end with a pre-Bio networking drink.

The day will be divided in 4 different sessions 

  • Session 1: Biomanufacturing in Belgium – an ecosystem that goes beyond the current assets
