The concept of «Basel Life” is based on three pillars: science, technology and exhibition. Each of those is represented in an event of global appeal. The EMBO, European Molecular Biology Organization, is responsible for the organization of a high quality international scientific congress. In the “Innovation Forums” leading scientists present their innovating methods and technologies and provide information about the current state. For the past 20 years the Mip Tec exhibtion has been operating successfully in the Life Science market and has brought together over 100 international exhibitors, who present their latest technologies and solutions in research and development.
