Networking with APTE and Biotechnology
As a network with a technology focus, we
are interested in expanding our areas of interest to all new technology
and biotechnology developments. We believe this expansion represents an
important step forward. Biology is, contrary to many other fields in
science, just beginning to be understood by mankind. The genetic
revolutions as of the seventies have launched an exponential progression
of the number of discoveries and new technologies, particularly at a time
when innovations are becoming harder to find in other fields.
Nevertheless it is becoming more and more
difficult for a single institution to cope with the high financial and
technology requirements of today's and tomorrow's scientific challenges.
This is leading companies and institutes to set up collaborative projects
and ventures. Support for these is precisely the explicit goal of the APTE
network, in particular the promotion of multi-field projects: The network
is at the crossroads between many different fields such as finance,
science, technologies, communication, marketing, government and interfaces
between all these.
We believe that, as a biotechnology company
or institute, you will find many valuable contacts and potential partners
and investors in the APTE member list. APTE is not a static
construct, it functions with the dynamics of a biological system. We
directly address and respond to your specific questions and problems. As
an active member, there are many tools at your service: For instance, you
can invite other members you want to meet to an APTERO or other
marketing events, attend meetings at special APTE discounts,
contact other members directly and much more!
In order to best meet your information
needs, we are keeping track of innovative private and/ or public companies
and institutes of all sizes. We have just written an article for a leading
Swiss biotechnology magazine and APTE member. The article
illustrates a concrete example of multi-field collaboration, in this case
between Micro-Technology and Computer Science which result in the
development of non-invasive simple photosynthetic activity assays for
environmental and plant biotechnologies.
