Vision • To be an excellent quality congress. • To be up-to-date with biotech advancements. • To establish important relationships.

Mission• To link students-research centers-companies-

government.• To help with the disclosure of national and

international advancements.• To leave the vision of a promising future within this

science to the students.• To effectively create a network amongst the invited

organizations.

Objectives• Leave SIMBIOSIS as a prestigious trademark, giving

it international recognition.• Expand the vision of opportunities within

biotechnology.• Establish relationships with diverse biotech

companies that will benefit both parties.

Student Approach• Approximate impact: 400 attendees, plus VIP’s (company

representatives, institutions, etc.).• Every university with biotechnology within Mexico will be

invited (ITESM, UNAM, UDEM, UANL, etc.).• Selected universities and colleges from USA will be invited

(Texas A&M, UT, Arizona State University, Framingham College, etc.).

• The approach will be done via email and the official website -• http://simbiosis.saibt.org

Content• The general idea is to focus on bioprocessing and molecular

biology within the 3 sections of health, bioenergy and agriculture, and in the areas related to these (peptide synthesis, Influenza AH1N1 vaccine, nutrigenomics, industrial scaling, etc.).

• Bring passionate & charismatic speakers, that are able to give the students a very inspiring talk.

• Dynamic discussion panels between technology transfer centers’ and parks’ directors (Monterrey International City of Knowledge, FEMSA Biotechnology Center, CIDCS UANL, Biotechnology Center of Excellence Corporation, and if possible, the Worcester Research Park).

What’s new?• Exhibitions – Companies, Research centers,

Universities.• Networking dinner with speakers and invited

authorities.• Visits to research centers in Monterrey (FEMSA

Biotechnology Center, CINVESTAV, etc.).• Talking opportunities (quick seminars) @ congress

afterhours with the Biotech Center directors & invited authorities.

What do we wish to achieve?• Win-win relationships.• Link between students & research

centers/companies & universities.• Establish relationships with international leaders.• Impulse the biotechnology development in several

ways (internships, project collaborations, networking, etc.).
