Who should attend
The audience is the deal-making layer of European life sciences: business development and licensing teams, investors, and the executives whose pipelines need partners. The LSX pairing adds the investor-conference dimension to the partnering engine. For regulatory leaders the calculus is the usual one at partnering meetings — approvability judgment in the room changes the terms — with the digital days a low-cost way to take meetings without the travel.
The autumn flagship, BIO-Europe 2026, runs in Cologne in November — the events directory lists every option we have verified.
