January 2017 sees the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC) host its third Annual Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, which is set to showcase and exemplify IBioIC’s current and future activities; outline the Industrial Biotechnology (IB) landscape and opportunities in Scotland; whilst linking communities to forge future collaborations between industry and academia. Attracting over 300 bio-based professionals from across the UK, Europe and further afield, IBioIC is keen to place an emphasis on the trajectory of IB in Scotland, making it an attractive proposition for international investment.‘Delivering Impact’ sets the theme for 2017 and will demonstrate the scale and breadth of activity of the sector and the opportunities available to accelerate the growth of the industry.This is IBioIC’s biggest annual event with over fifty speakers spanning two days and delegates ranging from high level business leaders, academics from across the UK and further afield, government representatives, and students who partake in our Skills Programme, making it is a very cost effective way to meet contacts old and new from the IB industry. Other highlights from the conference will include poster sessions, exhibition and sponsorship opportunities and of course, our networking dinner on the evening of day one. We look forward to welcoming delegates to the event.The near final programme is available online and registration is open now: http://bit.ly/2ciL8KIJoin the conversation and follow them on Twitter: #IBioIC17 @IBioIC
