Agenda

This Investor and Partnering Forum will feature three main components:

Partnering

Partnering at the Forum will focus on facilitating access to capital and business development in the regenerative medicine field. The one-to-one meetings will be scheduled using a state-of-the-art partnering system provided by the EBD Group to match and connect participants with prospective partners and investors.

Company Presentations

The Investor and Partnering Forum will also offer innovative and growing companies with the opportunity to present on new technologies, programs, or commercial developments in their business. These presentations are in 15-minute allotments and will be featured throughout the Forum.

Industry Panels

The Forum will feature a keynote address and panel discussions featuring thought leaders in the field or regenerative medicine science, commercialization, regulatory, and reimbursement issues. Panelists will include executives from leading regenerative medicine research institutes and companies discussing new technologies, commercial development obstacles, and challenges ahead for newly marketed and late-stage products in regenerative medicine.
