By
all accounts, Biomed 2008 was a huge success:
record attendance, top-notch program, contingents
from around the globe. This annual showcase
of the Israel life science industry has clearly
come into its own as a major international event.
As befits one of the largest life science clusters
in the United States, the State of Maryland
has been a participant in Biomed since
its inception.
 This year, in honor of Israel's 60th anniversary,
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley led a highly
successful trade mission of more than 30 leading
business people, government officials and academics,
all of whom returned to Maryland profoundly
impressed with the creativity, sophistication,
and dynamism of the Israel life science industry. See our Biomed photo gallery.
As the proud representatives of the State of
Maryland in Israel for the last decade, Trendlines
International staffs the Maryland booth at
Biomed each year, introducing Israeli life
science companies to the unique assets of
Maryland as a gateway to the U.S. market.
One of these unique assets is the MarketReach
America program.
This special business development program
(see below) gives selected Israeli businesses
an opportunity to accelerate their entry into
the U.S. market.
