Europe
Our business has been founded on a sound knowledge of developments in
European life-science and European biotechnology. Although in today's
information-driven world, physical boundaries do not mean as much as they did,
it is still a challenge to keep up with the global reach of biotechnology
developments.
We prefer to choose partners who are well aware of the latest developments in
the
USA, Japan and the rest of the world at large.
