This year, for the first time, two events "made in Trentino" are part of the official Biotech Week program (September 24 - October 1). Organized by Trentino Sviluppo, the events highlight the region’s excellence in life sciences.
Biotech Week, launched in Canada in 2003 and reaching Europe in 2013, celebrates the role of biotechnology in improving quality of life. Trentino’s participation is an opportunity to showcase local research and entrepreneurship.
