Japan Biotech Forum: London
Licensing and partnering opportunities emerging from Japan
transB has hosted the Japan Biotech Forum in London for two years running, bringing a number of cherry-picked companies from Japan developing clinical stage products for licensing and investment opportunities.
transB is well placed to identify early stage Japanese biotech companies with licensing assets. We will be running the Forum again in the future and will be seeking commercial sponsors to make this possible. Please contact us if you would be interested in partnering with us.
