Introduction
The mediscience awards just keep on growing
The mediscience awards dinner is now a truly European affair. It is the largest annual gathering of publicly quoted healthcare, biotech and life science companies in Europe, and is the absolute 'must attend' networking event for anybody working in these sectors.
Now in its 9th year, the dinner will once again be held at the Hotel Intercontinental, London W1 on Thursday 24 June 2010.
Sponsored by Piper Jaffray, the event recognises the importance of the capital markets to fund growth and innovation. The awards celebrate, amongst others, the breakthrough of the year, the best technology and the most significant contribution to the industry.
The Company of the Year award goes to the business that has a well defined strategy and has demonstrated its ability to deliver its key financial, ethical and social ambitions. Last year the winner was Intercell AG, the Austrian biotech company focused on the design and development of novel vaccines for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
