“We pride ourselves on creating a unique environment where attendees from around the world come with the purpose of investing in private and early stage biotech companies. It is our hope that with the 10th annual BIO Investor Forum, attendees and presenters alike capitalize on the exceptional opportunities available only at this event,” said Alan Eisenberg, Executive Vice President of Emerging Companies and Business Development at BIO.
