WELCOME

Dear Colleagues,
It is our special honor to invite you to join us in ILSI-Biomed Israel 2007.
The meeting will be held in Tel-Aviv, at the David Intercontinental Hotel.
Please mark the date: June 5-7, 2007.

Biomed 2006 already indicated to us that a tradition has been established and that members of the international life science community cannot afford to not attend. Indeed we were proud to host official delegations from: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, The Netherlands, UK, USA along to visitors from: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Czech Republic, China, Denmark, Egypt, Greece, New Zealand, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey and Ukraine.

During the three days of the event, we could sense the highly positive energy in the air and the best indication is that many one-on-one sessions took place between Israeli delegates and those from the
international venture capital and production/sales industries. In fact we already witnessed follow-ups of such sessions.

The 2006 program already took into consideration the assimilation of biotech and medical device (Biomed – being our brand name) and in each of the sessions (cardiology, orthopedics, nerve-stimulation) the combination of the two disciplines has been emphasized. ILSI-Biomed 2007 will be a natural extension of the same approach of converging medical device, diagnostics and biotechnology. Just as a catalyst of attraction.

• The International Stem Cell Meeting: Stem Cells and their Regulatory Microenvironment .
  Together with the Weizmann Institute we will revisit the whole area of stem cell research including review of the basics, analysis of the IP / patent policy, trends in the industrialization process and convergence with medical device approaches.
   
• Innovations Bio-Pharma and Medical Device: Preliminary agenda will be published shortly
   
• BioBusiness: From a scientific discovery to a profitable industryopportunities and hurdles. A series of panel discussions will address the crossroad and meeting site between tech-transfer, regulation, investment at various stages and marketing strategies.

We look forward to your participation, and will provide more
information and details as the conferences takes shape.

Sincerely,
