“Biotechnology 2005/2006”

Mapping of the Top 7

Developed by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada,

together with its sister organizations in Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.

The main goal of this project, supported by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (M.A.P.), is to promote collaboration and development in international markets of business opportunities in the biotech field amongst the 7 leading countries in this sector.

This goal will be achieved by creating an interactive online data-base of the sector creating a 360° panorama of the industry in these seven leading countries. While Italy is not yet one of the Top 7, it is currently focusing resources and efforts towards promoting growth in this sector through education and funding programmes, providing incentives for research and startups.

The initiative is free of cost and gives your company the opportunity of being part of this data-base leading to the creation of a website with both public and members-only areas, representing an interesting virtual meeting point of the biotech industry where research, networking and cooperation will come together.

To be part of this project, we kindly ask you to give us more information about your company using the guidelines that you will find attached, or by visiting the following link: FORM-275
