SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 2005--Technology Vision Group LLC is pleased to announce that its 13th Annual BioPartnering Europe (BPE) (October 9-11) has been chosen to kick off the World Life Science Week, which will continue with CORDIA (October 11-13).

Together, these two prestigious conferences will provide a world-class stage for a week of key life science industry events taking place in London.

By joining forces, BPE and CORDIA have created the most productive platform for delegates from the pharma and biotech industries in Europe, the U.S. and Asia to do business

BPE is Europe's longest running life science partnering conference, consistently attracting top decision makers from a broad cross section of the life science industry.

By combining BPE and CORDIA to create the World Life Science Week, a new exciting platform has been created which will enable participants to concentrate their business development efforts into a highly productive single week during which they can target a much enlarged audience.

When registering for both events, participants will receive a GBP 350 flat rate to CORDIA and 10% off BioPartnering Europe registration fees (some restrictions apply)

"BioPartnering Europe is for us the main European event with a truly global focus.

The business spirit at BPE is always excellent and the meeting is extremely well organised.

BPE has consistently provided Novozymes with an ideal platform to meet our business development objectives and in my opinion this is an event that any serious player in the life science sector cannot afford to miss," said Charlotte Hummer Vad, Biotech Business Development, Novozymes

Daniel Pavin, a partner at sponsoring law firm Taylor Wessing, commented: "Taylor Wessing is very much looking forward to participating in the 13th Annual BioPartnering Europe event.

We're sure that it will, as ever, be a lively forum for exchanging ideas and creating opportunities." Present Your Business to World-Leading Decision Makers By providing 2.5-hour Open House presentations and 14-minute podium speaker presentations for emerging biotechnology companies, BPE offers innovative ways for pharma and biotech companies to showcase their businesses to top decision makers from leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, service, and financial companies.

Presentation slots are limited, apply online now: http://www.techvision.com/bpe/registration/presenter/apply.php "Our Open House presentation at BPE in 2004 proved to be a very efficient platform for us to showcase our business, enabling us to develop a range of very interactive discussions with leading players in the life science industry.

We had a very productive conference last year which yielded the initial step in what resulted in one of our present pharma collaborations.

We see BPE as our window to Europe as it provides valuable access to the `Who's Who' of the pharmaceutical industry," commented Nina Sawczuk, CEO of Zygogen

"For an early stage company like PIramed, having an opportunity to convey our key messages to such a high profile audience was a very positive development for our organization.

It is clear from the feedback that we received from our podium presentation last year that it proved to be very beneficial in creating awareness and understanding about our corporate objectives," said Michael Moore, CEO of PIramed Ltd biopartnering.com Fosters B2B Opportunities Following last year's success of utilizing the new biopartnering.com online system to network for BPE, delegates will again this year be able to search partnering opportunities through keyword searches of detailed profiles on all companies, contact other delegates, arrange private meetings, and reserve meeting rooms in advance of the conference.

The biopartnering.com site now offers an integrated registration system, enabling registrants to easily sign-up for both BPE and CORDIA using a single, convenient interface
