Take off for this year's fair
More visitors than previously were preregistered when Scanlab and Biotech Forum opened today. But the future of the exhibitions and their design is uncertain.
“We have a tighter show this year in a smaller area but with as many visitors as before. We also have a good and well-attended seminar program on biotechnology side"says Kim Lindhe, Event Manager at Stockholm International Fairs, the organizer.
The proportion of visitors and exhibitors from the biotechnology companies have become fewer and fewer since the biotech bubble burst. The majority of both exhibitors and visitors are now from the laboratory sector. And the design of the fairs remains an open question.
“There is a great need for this kind of forum and we want to keep Biotech Forum, but not in the form that is today” says Kim Lindhe.
“Scanlab, which is Bella Center's brand is strong in Denmark and will be held here every two years. How a possible laboratory trade show will look like in Sweden is to be seen"says Kim Lindhe.
