Join us for an evening bringing together the biotech community to explore why Japan is becoming an increasingly compelling place to build and grow a company.
As Japan’s biotech ecosystem continues to evolve, with strong science, growing global connectivity, and increased support for entrepreneurship, new opportunities are emerging for founders looking to launch and scale globally.
With the upcoming launch of BioLabs Tokyo, this is a unique moment to engage with the ecosystem and understand what’s ahead.
The evening will feature a panel discussion, Japan’s Biotech Moment - Why Founders Are Building There Now, alongside networking with founders, investors, and industry leaders.
We will also be offering tours of BioLabs San Diego to give attendees a preview of what to expect at BioLabs Tokyo.
Enjoy light bites and refreshments as you connect with others in the community and learn more about the next chapter of biotech innovation in Japan.
We look forward to welcoming you!
