BioKorea is one of Asia’s key life sciences exhibition, conference and partnering events showcasing Korea’s pharmaceutical and biotech sector, as well as hosting participants from greater Asia and further afield.
Last year’s BioKorea convention held in the COEX in Seoul attracted 254 companies with over 12,000 visitors.
There has been a Scotland-Korea BioAlliance in place now for several years and as a result a number of Scottish life sciences companies and institutions have successful, ongoing collaborations with Korean partners.
Scottish Development International
Our partners Scottish Development International are leading a delegation of Scottish companies to this event and will be hosting the Scotland pavilion which can be used as a touch-down base for networking and meetings.
