Next monday, Biosquare will organise a workshop in Lyon on what have the Cleantechs to do with the Biotechs ?The Cleantech industry comprised of companies focused on alternative energy, recycling, waste, air pollution..but much of this growth is being fueled by entrepreneurs with biotech credentials.

So this session would try to expain how these two industries are tightly interwoven.

WORKSHOP N°3 – The Cleantech Market in Europe
Monday, March 9, 10.45 am to 12.00 pm, Venue: "Saint Clair 3 A"  hall,  Lyon Convention Center,  France

Session presentation:
What have the Cleantechs to do with the Biotechs? This question is much less academic than it may appear at first glance. The speakers of the Workshop N°3 will debate along two different lines of relation between those two Markets. Do Cleantechs and Biotech compete, or even maybe cannibalize each-other, for funding? How is triggered this competition? What are the latent synergies between these two markets, set on the same technological roots and tools? How can the Biotech Entrepreneur take the best out of theses synergies?

Confirmed speakers:
François Houssin, Senior Development Manager, European Listing, NYSE Euronext, France
Peter Rosholm,  Vice President Biopharma area  - Novozymes
Adbelkader Guellil, Akaeno
Moderator : Albin Jourda - Managing Director, Gallium Moore
