Dear Sponsor,

       The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is organizing its fourth international biennial conference, BioVisionAlexandria 2008, held 12-16 April 2008 at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA), Alexandria, Egypt.

       As a continuation of the tradition that started in BioVision 1999 in Lyon, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina has been honored to be an associate with BioVision by which it holds the BioVisionAlexandria every even year alternating with the World Life Science Forum held in Lyon every odd year.

       The overriding theme of the BioVisionAlexandria 2008 will be “From Promises to Practice” and will focus on translating the best existing knowledge into new approaches. Leading experts are invited to address new approaches, explaining why the immense advances that are taking place in science do not adequately translate noticeable improvements in the lives of the poorest 20% of the human race.

       The BioVisionAlexandria conference represents a unique opportunity that gathers more than 1500 participants as well as multinational and national corporate representatives. Wyeth, Novorordisk were among the BioVisionAlexandria 2006 conference sponsors. 

       The four-day conference will be attended by numerous Nobel Laureates, distinguished keynote speakers, eminent scientists, CEOs of several national and multinational companies and Ministers of Health and Agriculture from the four corners of the globe, all aiming to establish constructive dialogues on Health, Food, Agriculture, Industry and Environment topics; as well as exchange remarkable information in the biotechnological field. 

       As an integral part of this conference, a special exhibition BioFair@BioVisionAlexandria 2008 is featured for publishers, organizations, national and international companies which are involved in the field of life sciences and related topics.

       Moreover, our Sponsorship Program provides an innovative way for corporations to make an impact at the BioVisionAlexandria 2008.
