On 30th and 31st May the 10th Biomedica Life Sciences Summit (short: Biomedica) will take place at the Eurogress in Aachen. The first Biomedica in 2007 arose as a joint venture of 3 existing conferences in Liège, Aachen and Maastricht, consituting a trinational conference with contributions of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Exhibitors and visitors are invited to the Biomedica taking place in the Top Technology Region clustering of Hasselt, Leuven, Maastricht, Eindhoven, Aachen and Liège, where the location is alternating each year between Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

Initiated by LifetecZONe, MedLife (prior Lifetech Aachen-Jülich), Lifetec Limburg and BioLiège, the Biomedica 2016 is going to present innovations of companies and organizations within the leading theme "Biomedica 2016 - Make the health care field of tomorrow today". The organizers are expecting more than 1.000 visitors from a broad spectrum: entrepreneurs, scientists, students, health care center representatives, investors, politicians and government officials.  

The visitors can attend to various lectures and poster sessions out of the four main topics bioprocessing, diagnostics & medicine, healthcare & services as well as medical devices. Besides there are pitches planned on technologies & services, devices, instruments and diagnostics & material applications, where researcher and companies are going to present projects and products to inform about innovations and ideas to interested parties and possible investors. Biomedica is thought to be a meeting point for dynamic and expectant life sciences and the health community, where collaborations between business and sciences are probably being developed. Therefore there will be matchmaking events to give participants the chance to get to know each other and also interdisciplinary round table discussions between patients, medical professionals, researchers, companies and many others to discuss about shared problems and to gain new aspects.

Together with BioRiver – Life Science im Rheinland e.V. the QuoMedic GmbH is going to represent their offers as agency for services to medical science and technology, which perfectly fits to one of the main topics of Biomedica 2016: healthcare and services.
