Line up of speakers at BioBiz 2006

If BioBiz 2006 was an event from the entertainment industry, it would probably be the MTV Awards for Pharma.

With a line up of speakers from the who and who of the Singapore Pharma industry; typical big names from Pfizer, GSK, Novartis, J&J, Medtronic to your local start up dealing in stem cells to glucosamine transdermal cream.

Non-traditional companies are also presenting like Frost & Sullivan (MNC in market research), Bain & Company (one of the world’s leading management consulting firms) and many more…………..

However this conference is a far cry from your typical (boring) scientific conferences; deals with the commercialization and revenue generating aspects of the pharma industry.

Participants are also given the option to upload their resumes which will then be given to the participating companies.
