BBC feature strong at the BIO film festival
One new aspect of the BIO International Convention this year is a film festival showing a series of inspirational documentary shorts that amplify the patient voice and highlight biotechnology's role in addressing unmet medical need.
The BBC’s commercial arm has played a pivotal role in developing this and made many of the features. Films will run in hour-long blocks throughout the day from Monday 5 June to Thursday 8 June in Room 105 on Level 1 of the BCEC. Nice to have our national broadcaster so central to promoting the sector globally.
Sign up for the BIA BIO webinar next Tuesday 23 May 12:00 for the latest updates and valuable information.
