Here are some of our delegates' comments:

- BioPartner very effectively provide a base and invaluable support to companies

- BioPartner's assistance was invaluable

- The assistance I received in obtaining further savings and additional advantages was exceptional.

- BioPartner staff – A top class act! Always on hand to give quality information and assistance

- First event with BioPartner and will definitely not be the last.

- BioPartner was a great help both before and during BioEurope

- Smooth, seamless support from BioPartner UK. Thank you everyone

- Another excellent job by the BioPartner team

- The work the BioPartner team do to provide hotel & logistic support makes the sole purpose for the vendor very easy to concentrate on conducting business. Cannot recommend their work enough

- Thank you for supporting our attendance, helping us to access funding and a presentation slot. We look forward to being part of future delegations with BioPartner.

- The BioPartner UK staff were very helpful and genuinely wanted everyone to get the best out of the meeting. They made every attempt to ensure that the delegates were accommodated.

- The Biopartner team did a fantastic job yet again in making this a successful event. We look forward to joining the next UK delegation organised by BioPartner.

- BioPartner helped us to obtain valuable funding for this event and also additional help through Bionow. Without this help we certainly would not have had such a success at the event. It’s great to have a central meeting point and the added benefit of introductions from BioPartner to others in the network.

- I was very pleased to be part of the UK delegation, and found this provided an excellent focal point to meet new potential clients and collaborators. The breakfast meeting was particularly useful and I look forward to hopefully participating at future events coordinated by BioPartner.<

Working with the Canadian network, Life Sciences BC, we organised and led the first UK delegation to BioPartnering North America, which was held in Vancouver, between 29 February and 1 March 2011. This 10th edition of BPN welcomed 800+ delegates, including 497 companies from 28 countries. Our UK Delegation included CDSS (now renamed Illingworth Research), Domainex, Oxford Expression Technologies, Q-Chip and others. We distributed £6,000 of TAP grant funding, and in both 2011 and 2012, 14 companies took up our discounts and subsidised conference package.

Working with ASEBIO, the Spanish Bioindustry Association, we organised and led the first ever UK delegation to BIOSPAIN in Pamplona, Navarra, and followed up repeat visits to the conference in Bilbao September 2012, 2016 and Santiago de Compostela in 2014. Our UK Delegation enjoyed a packed conference agenda with breakout sessions, an exhibition hall, investment track and 1:1 partnering meetings. Members of the Delegation were both surprised and delighted by the range and depth of commercial leads presented by the Spanish lifescience sector, and our links have been strengthened by Spanish delegations to the Anglonordic Life Science Conference held in London each year.
