Meet Berlin’s Life Sciences Innovators in Yokohama
On the opening evening of BioJapan 2026, Berlin Partner for Business and Technology and the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (AHK Japan) invite representatives of Japan’s life sciences community to meet a high-level delegation from Berlin.
Berlin-Brandenburg is home to a highly connected life sciences ecosystem comprising more than 760 companies, start-ups, research institutions and other stakeholders. The visiting delegation brings together innovative biotechnology companies, translational research institutions, technology providers and public-sector representatives active in personalized and regenerative medicine, cell and gene therapy, ATMP development, immunological biomarkers, precision immunotherapy, biologics development, drug discovery, digital health and data-driven R&D.
During a series of concise pitches, the participating organizations will introduce their technologies, capabilities and cooperation interests. A networking buffet will then provide ample time for direct exchanges and individual discussions with the German delegates.
If you participate and/or exhibit at Bio-Japan and would like to meet one of our german participating companies for an individual B2B meeting, please feel free to directly contact: bhaverland@dihkj.or.jp (Englisch or Japanese).
The event is designed to initiate concrete cooperation in areas such as:
• Joint research and development
• Licensing and co-development
• Clinical and contract research
• Technology validation and transfer
• Investment and strategic partnerships
Representatives of Japanese pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, CROs and CDMOs, universities, hospitals, research institutions, investors, industry associations, clusters and other relevant organizations are warmly invited to attend.
