Ruti Alon:”Thank Kenes and we have to give credits for the hard work in each mini conference this year, with interesting subjects in each track. And to Biomed sponsors whom without we canot do this conference. Welcome to the guests from US countries & also Israel. Israel is referred to not only as a start-up nation but also Innovation Nation. There are numbers of medical device patents granted to the Medical Device Sector. Israel is on a second place after USA and this position we have been holding for the last 12 years.”
Francois Maisonrouge: “I came in 1976 ti the country for 1st time and I met Professor Sela which was memorable the Wisemen already existed in that time & no one thought Israel would become the Start-up Nation it is today. Israel as ceased the opportunity at Globalization. Real progress in Science whether it be bio-technologies or information technology has migrated from universities to private enterprise funded by plentiful venture capital.”
The extensive Conference program includes 9 tracks each day. The first day of the conference (15.05.2018) is dedicated on the oncology & fighting rare diseases: next generation oncology treatments, immune oncology, general oncology and precision medicine in the oncology; fighting rare diseases using Novel therapeutic approaches and the newest technologies to accelerate drug development.

Biomed’s medical business event generates more than 75% of the life science’s new inventions for the Israeli market and develops unparalleled medical equipment that empowers healthcare professionals to more easily and effectively diagnose and treat diseases. Israel’s life sciences industry has experienced a 81% growth over the past decade, with around 130 companies founded every year on average, according to a new report produced by IATI, though half of that number ceased to operate. Most of the industry’s employees are divided between its largest companies, meaning 65% of Israel-based life science companies employ 10 people or less. Biomed is one of the most important places for finding a sponsor, investor or a partner ,especially for the start-up companies in Israel or signing agreements and joint-venture partnerships between the leaders in the field.
