BIOTEC 94
Forum of Biotechnology/Biomedicine
for Science, Technology and Medicine
Duesseldorf, Germany - November 16-19, 1994
****************************************************************
In co-operation with the Institute of Microbiology of the
Heinrich-Heine-Universitaet Duesseldorf (Germany) and the Messe Duesseldorf
we organize the BIOTEC 94 Forum of Biotechnology, which takes place
parallel with the MEDICA Fair, one of the world's largest fairs in the
field of medicine.
The International Forum of Biotechnology BIOTEC 94 offers you an ideal
platform for presenting your state-of-the-art innovations in the field of
research and development in industry and higher education. In addition to
the scientific BIOTEC Congress we give you the opportunity to present your
products, services and developments within the framework of the BIOTEC
Special Exhibition.
Thanks to its links with the MEDICA and an expected number of about 100,000
visitors, the BIOTEC Special Exhibition promises to generate widespread
interest. Additionally you can take part in the Technology Forum, which
opens the way to communication with scientists, practitioners, politicians
and the industry.
