BioPartnering Europe (BPE) was first held in London in 1993 as a partnership between the U.S. Commercial service and technology Vision Group LLC to bring about closer ties between American and European biotechnology companies.

From the beginning, BPE has attracted the support of leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, financial and service companies who have all contributed to making this one of the leading independent partnering events in the world.

BPE has a high rate of sponsor retention, which signals its prominent role in the annual conference calendar for many industry leaders.
