Dear Colleagues,

It is our honor and pleasure to invite you to participate in Biomed Israel 2006, to be held in Jerusalem from May 29-31, 2006.

This year’s event, Biomed Israel 2006, follows the success of the previous annual Biotech Israel conferences. Notably, last year Biotech Israel was fortunate to host world renowned keynote speakers including Nobel Laureate Aaron Ciechanover, Prof. Leroy Hood, Founder of The Institute for Systems Biology, Mr. Fredrick Frank Vice Chairman of Lehman Brothers, Steven Burril of Burril & Co and Dr. Murray Lumpkin, Acting Deputy Commissioner of the US FDA. Over 2000 scientist, engineers and businesspeople participated in the conference, with over 400 participants from abroad.

After last year’s event, the Biotech Israel organizing committee decided to integrate the vibrant and successful Israeli medical device sector into the annual conference. This commitment is reflected in the change of name from Biotech Israel to Biomed Israel.

With this change, the organizing committee is committed to making the Biomed Israel conference the annual general meeting and showcase of the entire Israeli life sciences industry. This new broader focus creates a unique opportunity for everyone involved in our industry to meet and network, and for visitors from abroad to become acquainted with the entire life sciences industry in Israel at one high quality event.
