New Rochelle, NY, July 21, 2005 --Sponsored by GENETIC ENGINEERING NEWS and organized by BioConferences International, Inc., The Sixth European Biotechnology Symposium at the Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel in Copenhagen is the only event in Europe that assembles the broadest collection of technical and business expertise from Europe?s rapidly-growing biomanufacturing sector.

GEN and BioConferences International will welcome all sponsors, exhibitors and attendees at an opening reception in the expo hall on the evening of Sunday, November 13, at the Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel, Copenhagen.

The Symposium, which begins Monday, November 14, uniquely addresses biotech's two principal concerns, technology and business, through two consecutive tracks. "Competitive Biotechnology: Advanced Biologics Manufacturing" (morning and afternoon, November 14 and morning of November 15) features leading European experts in biomanufacturing. Speakers include Dr. Prof. Florian Wurm (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne) and representatives from top biotechnology companies across Europe. "Closing the Deal: Joint Ventures and Partnerships" (afternoon of Tuesday, November 15) will provide a forum for business and finance experts to share their expertise on partnership and funding activities which are critical both to companies and the greater biotechnology industry.

Sponsors for the Sixth European Biotechnology Symposium include Host Sponsor: Invest in Denmark, Chairs Cup: Pall Life Sciences, Platinum: Sartorius, Diamond: Novozymes, Gold, Hyclone and Silver, Stedim, CMC, and Linde. Additional sponsorships are available, as well as a few non-commercial speaking opportunities.

Held approximately every other year, the European Biotechnology Symposium has become a favorite stop on the European meeting and conference circuit. This year?s event promises even greater value with the addition of "Closing the Deal". "This Symposium has been extremely successful because speakers and attendees alike value the intimate atmosphere and informative, non-commercial presentations," said Mary Ann Liebert, Publisher of Genetic Engineering News. "With the addition of the 'Doing the Deal' session GEN and our partners and sponsors hope to create a truly unique conference with broad appeal to biotechnology scientists, engineers, and business professionals."
