BioAsia Names Flanders As International Regional Partner

HYDERABAD: BioAsia, the annual flagship event of the state government, has named Flanders Investment and Trade as its international regional partner to boost Indo-Belgian lifesciences trade. The region stands first within the European Union for clinical trial procedure speed and biotech market capitalisation, second in pharma and biotech patent applications per capita. FI&T had participated in the event last year to explore multiple opportunities in the lifesciences sector aimed at vaccines and mRNA technological platforms, immunotherapy, life sciences university partnership and cluster-to-cluster collaborations. It has strengthened economic ties and has also fostered a culture of innovation and knowledge exchange,” said Jayant Nadiger, trade and investment commissioner of Flanders, Belgium, according to a release.
