Delegations set to support global outreach of Australian biotech and medtech

AusBiotech will be leading missions to the world’s largest and most relevant biotech and medtech events over the coming months - in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Korea and USA - to support Australian companies in their outreach and global development.

Registration is now open for Australian delegations to:

• Biotech Invest Korea at the BioKorea International Convention, to be held in Seoul, Korea, from 8-10 April 2015;
• Australian Pavilion at the China International Medical Equipment Fair, 15-18 May 2015 in Shanghai, China;
• Asia Biotech Invest, 19-21 May 2015 in Kowloon, Hong Kong; and
• Australian Pavilion at the BIO International Convention, 15-18 June 2015 in Philadelphia, USA.

The Australian pavilions will offer exhibiting companies more than just an exhibition space, with packages of total support. The recognisable Brand Australia images, shared services, informal meeting areas, meeting rooms and reception counters will ensure you maximise your chances of achieving a successful outcome at these major events.

The investment missions showcase Australian companies for partnering and investing opportunities. Participation in these events, in many cases, is subsided by government support, making the costs of participation lower than attending alone.

You may be eligible to claim some of your marketing and promotion costs associated with the exhibitions through the Export Market Development Grant scheme. For more information, visit www.austrade.gov.au.

Some state governments also provide financial assistance to exporters to attend international exhibitions, such as Victoria’s Trade Mission Assistance Program. Please contact your local state development office to discuss applicable programs.
