    For the first time, the PIUG Biotechnology Conference will be combining with Pharma & MedTech Information  (PhMTI) to explore how the fusion of intellectual property (IP) and competitive intelligence (CI) search and analysis is driving the future of biotech innovation!

    This meeting aims to bring together professionals from the biotechnology IP and CI sectors to explore the critical intersection and synergies between IP information (patents, IP sequences, etc.) and competitive intelligence (drug landscapes, clinical trials, research literature) in the biotech industry.
