The BioTrinity 2010 Company Showcase is a unique opportunity to take in 36 corporate/investor presentations from the best companies from the UK's most successful bioclusters and partner with them. This year we will again feature a mostly hand-selected line-up of the Most Promising Companies over April 13-14th 2010.   Day one will feature drug discovery and development as well as platform technologies, and Day Two will feature medtech as well as platform companies. Do contact us soon if you wish to be considered for one of the few remaining presenting slots, since over 80% are already allocated and a number of companies are being considered for what remains.  We are also delighted to have accepted our first presentation from the MassBio cluster in Boston, US.
