Organisation
Knowledge for Growth is the annual life sciences convention organised by FlandersBio.
FlandersBio is the umbrella organisation for the Life Sciences sector in Flanders, a dynamic non-profit, fee based organisation with 245 members. Our mission is to support
and facilitate the sector’s sustained development. Our objective is to ensure that it remains a strong driver of economic growth in the region.
The FlandersBio network brings together companies with innovative, R&D-driven activities in the life sciences – companies that are for example developing biopharmaceuticals, medical technologies or agricultural or industrial biotech products. Our network also welcomes academic research institutes and providers of capital, services and technologies to the life sciences community. By organising networking activities we build bridges between the different actors and by actively stimulating innovation and R&D FlandersBio creates an added value for the sector as a whole.
