05/02/2010 Caledonian Hotel, Edinburgh Life sciences companies looking for partnership opportunities could find just what they are looking for at a ‘speed-dating’ brokerage event in Edinburgh.
The Enterprise Europe Scotland Life Sciences Brokerage Event 2010, at Edinburgh’s Caledonian Hotel on 5 February 2010, is part of a 2-day programme being held in partnership with the BIA Thistle Bioscience Forum and Scottish Enterprise Life Sciences Dinner.
The brokerage event is open to delegates from any life sciences sector in any country. However, it is also an ideal opportunity for those 700 + delegates attending the BIA forum and Scottish Enterprise dinner in Edinburgh on Feb 4th to maximise business development opportunities through quick and focused, pre-booked business meetings on the following day.
Companies register and book 30-minute meetings in advance of the brokerage event through an online catalogue and booking system. This speed-dating type approach gives enough time to scope out potential opportunities and see if they would like to take things further.
As Dr Claire Melville, Life Sciences specialist within the Enterprise Europe Scotland team, adds: “It’s an ideal platform for delegates with technology to out-license, new R&D or business services to offer, or products to place or source in Europe.”
05/02/2010 The envietech 2010 Business Lounge offers face-to-face talks with experts, providers and vendors of environmental technology.

While achieving strong domestic sales is, rightly, a priority for most technology-related businesses, the global market offers scope for much greater sales growth.
The use of English as an international business language and the availability of the internet and instant communication can make exporting appear easier than was once the case. But there are still many challenges to going global - and not all are obvious.
This event explores some key questions relating to this theme:
- Which sales and marketing channels should you use? - direct sales (online or face-to-face), agents, distributors, partners, licensing.
- How can you effectively communicate and build trust with people from very different cultures?
- What support is available for exporting?
The MD of CM Group, which generates the majority of its revenue overseas, will also discuss how they have developed their international business strategy.
This event is sponsored by UK Trade & Investment and Enterprise Europe Network South West |
