We present BIOSPAIN 2023

We want to start 2023 in a big way and with a powerful announcement that brings us all together in a face-to-face meeting. That is why AseBio and Biocat are organising the official presentation of BIOSPAIN 2023 on 17 January 2023, in Barcelona. 

With this event, we intend to announce the most important and influential edition of all as it will be held for the first time in 20 years in Barcelona, the epicentre of biotechnology in Europe. It is also a key city for the organisation of events across the continent.

BIOSPAIN brings together more than 1,500 professionals from all over the world from more than 800 organisations from 30 countries and has more than 50 national and international investors. During the conference, some 4,000 one-to-one meetings are held.

During the morning we will explain why we are holding BIOSPAIN 2023 in Barcelona and the interest it represents for the economic and social growth of the country and the territory itself.

We will also take the opportunity to detail what we will find at BIOSPAIN this year and why it is a benchmark event, especially in a context of crisis and uncertainty such as the one we are currently experiencing, in which biotechnology has a lot to say.
