Location: Yokohama, Japan
USA Pavillion
at BioJapan 2007
World Business Forum

The Commercial Service of the U.S. Embassy, Tokyo is pleased to announce that we will organize a USA Pavilion at BioJapan 2007, to be held at the Pacifico Yokohama on September 19-21, 2007.

BioJapan is one of the most prestigious biotechnology events in Japan. Organized by the Japan Bioindustry Association (JBA), BioJapan will feature, in addition to our USA Pavilion, exhibitions, seminars, partnering opportunities and other hospitality events.

The Japanese biotechnology industry has been making remarkable strides. In fact, the industry's rapid development is a result of the close cooperation among Japanese public and private sectors. The Japanese government has been providing considerable support to foster this industry and academia has also played a significant role. The market size of the Japanese biotechnology industry in 2005 was $16.8 billion, a 3 percent growth rate over the previous year. While the Japanese food, agricultural and IT sectors continue to expand their biotech related activities, Japan's pharmaceutical sector is especially active. The relationship between Japanese pharmaceutical companies and biotech venture companies is becoming closer through strategic partnerships and collaborative research.

Our USA Pavilion will showcase the depth and variety of the U.S. biotech industry. With ample booth space and a USA Pavilion catalog, U.S. exhibitors will be able to meet with potential business partners in a comfortable and professional setting.
