BioJapan 2008

It offers various programs integrating exhibitions and seminars, show the latest developments in the industry, and promote global business networking.

This is a UK-Japan 2008 event.

While many consider Japan's economy to be on the track to recovery, trends in the U.S. economy and soaring oil prices may have an adverse effect on economic conditions both in Japan and overseas.

To ensure sustainable development in the future, it is essential for Japan to promote innovation so as to create competitive industries, cultivate social value, and generate jobs and profits, while forging partnerships with nations in Asia and other regions in the world.

The bioindustry is expected to become a driving force to help achieve these goals. Not only is the bioindustry closely related to health, food, energy, the environment, and other aspects directly affecting people's quality of life, but it also plays a significant role in many other industries including pharmaceutical, food, chemical, machine, and IT industries. Moreover, the intricate integration of science and technology in the industry has stimulated business activity on a global scale.

In the field of healthcare, personalized medicine and preventative care have finally begun to take form and generated new businesses such as functional foods. Furthermore, the Hokkaido Toyako G8 Summit in 2008, which will most certainly focus on issues of global warming, will further accelerate utilization of biofuels and biomass plastics.

BioJapan 2008, with the aim of contributing to development of the bioindustry, will offer various programs integrating exhibitions and seminars, show the latest developments in the industry, and promote global business networking.
