Description: The French Biotech Tour California (FBT) is a US/French partnering event with a focus on infectious diseases. The event will consist of the following:

+ US and French company presentations
+ Pre-booked, validated one-to-one meetings (30 minutes)
+ Informal networking opportunities

The tour will begin on Monday March 15th in San Diego and will end on Wednesday the 17th in the Bay Area.

The FBT is organized by Ubifrance, the French Agency for international business development, in partnership with Lyonbiopole, Office for Science and Technology of the French Consulate in Los Angeles and French BioBeach in San Diego.

What’s different about the French Biotech Tour?

The FBT is a showcase of the most innovative technologies and solutions developed by Californian and French biotech companies to tackle infectious diseases and to improve patients’ quality of life.

Through a focus on infectious diseases, our objective is to provide you with the best contacts and collaborative opportunities (R&D collaborations, commercial partnerships, tech transfer, etc.) in your field of interest.

We deliberately keep the event small in terms of numbers of delegates – typically no more than 150 – to maintain the quality of the event and to provide an environment conducive to informal networking.

This event is free of charge for US companies.
