We’re excited to see it return to vibrant Barcelona,” said Raimund Gabriel, Managing Partner at MC Services. “The conference provides an excellent platform to network with partners, fellow industry executives, investors, and leading sector reporters. As we see our industry becoming more collaborative to address the unmet needs in healthcare – for the sake of patients and society –, conferences such as BIO-Europe Spring connect all important stakeholders to discuss trends and identify potential for working together. We are very much looking forward to hosting the press lounge on-site to provide journalists who cover the most exciting developments in the biotech sector with a productive working space, and to support this influential event by promoting international awareness and fostering media relations.”
