BIO-Europe 2022

Europe's largest partnering event as guest in Leipzig

BIO-EUROPE is Europe's largest industry and partnering trade fair in the life science and
biotechnology sector. In 2022, BIO-EUROPE took place for the first time in Leipzig with
more than 5000 visitors from 66 countries, which offered SaxoCell an excellent
opportunity to present itself on the mainly international stage.

With the support of the trade fair
organizers Biosaxony e.V. and the
EBD Group, we were able to set up
a SaxoCell booth as part of the
Saxon joint stand, where
interested trade fair participants
could find out about our activities
in direct conversation with our
hub members as well as by means
of print material (flyer, annual
report) and the SaxoCell image
film. The Saxon community stand
was located in the center of the
exhibition, which offered us many

In addition to our SaxoCell booth, we organized a SaxoCell symposium on the main stage
in the exhibitor area on day 2 of the 3-day BIO-EUROPE to present SaxoCell in a wide-
reaching way and to bring our scientists from the projects and platforms but also our
transfer staff and speakers into conversation with the participants. Cluster speaker Ezio
Bonifacio opened the well-attended symposium, which was moderated by Dorit
Teichmann and Thomas Tradler (both Hub / Transfer). We heard interesting presentations
from Anke Fuchs (AlloCAR-Treg), Sandy Tretbar (OPTIX) and Ulrike Weirauch (SaxoCell
OMICS).
