About the BOSTON-PARIS Biotechnology Summit®:

The BOSTON-PARIS Biotechnology Summit is an independent initiative supported by a panel of professionals from the biotech industry on both sides of the Atlantic. It seeks to establish relationships between Boston and French, European and International players and to stimulate and sustain synergies in investment, science, “market access” and regulatory practices. The efficient move of French biotech companies to US soil, particularly in the Greater Boston area – the industry’s “Worldwide Hub” – demonstrates how these firms have matured in the life sciences. The Boston-based Organizing Committee (Youssef Bennani, Soheila Gharakhanian, Shahin Gharakhanian, Frederic E Pierce II,) is seeking to establish “Win-Win” relationships in both directions. The summit site is the Boston Exchange Center, located at 212 Northern Ave, Boston, MA 02210. Major Sponsors: BIONEST Partners, MWE: McDermott Will & Emery, IPSEN, 4Clinics, Nanobiotix.
