CARLSBAD, Calif. and BOSTON, Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The eighth edition of BioPharm America™ 2015 life science partnering event wrapped up last week in Boston with overwhelming success. Produced by EBD Group in collaboration with the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council (MassBio), the event brought together cutting edge biotech companies and early stage startups, with executives from global pharmaceutical companies, finance, investors and service partners.
The event was attended by 853 delegates from 524 companies representing 27 countries. 2,274 one-to-one partnering meetings were held at the event where 657 licensing opportunities were on offer.
New this year was the successful Biotech Startup Day which focused on new and innovative startup companies who presented directly to Boston's leading financiers, pharma dealmakers and biotech business executives. A dedicated Partnerships in Regenerative Medicine and Advanced Therapies Day was also added, which convened top luminaries to discuss ways to advance the field.

"We continue to add new elements to the event that reflect the market, and the new program offerings this year, combined with the energy from the startups involved, resulted in one of our best events yet."
