First agreement signed with the Kobe-Kansai Cluster

A first agreement was signed with the Japanese Life Science cluster of Kobe-Kansai in Japan. This collaboration was launched at a meeting in Copenhagen on 12 February 2007 with participation of the Japanese Ambassador in Denmark and the Managing Director of our partnering cluster organisation, Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation (FBRI). Japan is the world's 2nd largest pharmaceutical and medical device market.

Similar agreements are currently under negotiation with clusters in Asia, Canada and the USA.
