Berlin goes Japan 2026
From October 05.–09. 2026, Berlin Partner for Business and Technology is organizing a delegation trip to Japan, one of the most innovative life‑science ecosystems worldwide. The trip is aimed at Berlin‑based companies working in personalized and regenerative medicine, cell and gene therapy, ATMP development, and biotechnology. It offers participants the opportunity to explore the Japanese market, meet international partners, and build strong, high‑level networks.
A key highlight of the program is participation in BioJapan in Yokohama – Asia’s leading bio‑partnering event, which provides an international platform for biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and digital health and attracts over 18,000 industry professionals each year. In addition, we will attend the EU‑Japan Biotech & Pharma Partnering Conference in Osaka, which connects European and Japanese companies through targeted 1:1 meetings, pitches, and networking, making it an ideal lead‑in to BioJapan. Furthermore, participants gain exclusive insights into Japan’s strongest innovation hubs through special site visits to leading Japanese companies in the life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors.
