The Phlippine Biotech Venture Summit: The 3nd Annual Conference on Biotechnology Enterprise and Investment will be held at the Rockwell Center on January 10-12.

What is it about? From the summit website:

The Summit’s primary objective is to promote the advancement and better understanding of Biotechnology in the Philippines by calling together Philippine Scientists, Academics , Regulators, Policy Formulators, Venture Capitalists, and Mainstream businessmen to discuss new trends, discoveries and business opportunities.

This 3-day summit aims to educate scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, managers in pharmaceutical firms, policy makers, as well as corporate and intellectual property lawyers.

What is about again? Think nata de coco, orchid production, organic fertilizer and other such business opportunities.

With the wealth of natural resources and the number of innovative Filipinos, there’s a lot of potential in developing biotechnology in the Philippines. The problems that biotech enterpreneurs face include capital, networking and a way to keep up with the latest in scientific research. Sometimes, people just need guidance on how to run their fledgling business. This summit aims to address these issues. More information and the registration form are available at the PBVS website.
