8^th Annual Biological Production Forum 2009 will take place on the 24-26th June in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Every industry is aware of the current economy, and the new challenges it presents. In order to remain successful, bio manufacturers must streamline operations to promote productivity. Never has it been more important for companies to not only know the strategies but also how to put them into practice.  This is all reflected in the Biological Production Forum programme. It will arm both upstream and downstream attendees with the strategies to thrive in the challenging times ahead, as well as case studies on the implementation of them.
