The Global Biobusiness Forum ‘BioAsia-2014’ is scheduled to be held in Hyderabad from February 17 to 19, 2014 at HICC (Hyderabad International Convention Centre) in Madhapur.

This time the 11th edition of BioAsia is coming with a cogent theme of ‘Innovate Evolve’ which aptly applies for the emerging and ever evolving life sciences industry.

According to organisers, BioAsia-2014 is mainly focused on ‘Innovation in lifesciences’. The upcoming forum is expected to address various contemporary issues like increasing disease burden, and the growing need for more efficacious and affordable healthcare solutions.

Panel discussions hosted by global industry leaders will deliberate on the path breaking solutions for the sector, from innovative products to models that reduce R&D cost while increasing efficiencies, and innovative financing models, that promote new business ideas. The goal is to highlight innovation as the driver of the lifesciences economy in the coming years.

In addition, a parallel event AgBioAsia focusing on health and nutrition with the theme of ‘Harnessing the potential of the global nutraceutical market’ will be hosted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in partnership with the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the Federation of Asian Biotech Associations (FABA).

Talking about BioAsia 2014, Shakthi Nagappan, CEO, BioAsia said, “BioAsia has always been about coming together to discuss the most relevant and futuristic trends around lifesciences. Exclusive and interesting topics pertaining to the need of the changing times have been discussed at this forum in the past. This year BioAsia takes another leap by bringing innovation at the center stage of discussion.”

For more than a decade, BioAsia has built a formidable reputation for convening a high caliber network of lifescience executives to exchange views, analyze, showcase, explore and connect strengths that extend the visible horizons in the sector.
