On May 18, join BIOQuébec for a very special evening

BIOQuébec Annual General Meeting - 4 p.m.

The evening will begin at 4:00 p.m. with the annual general meeting of BIOQuébec. Among other things, this will be an opportunity to take stock of the activities of the past year and to adopt the 2022 financial statements.

Conference - Presentation of the study on CROs in Quebec - 5 p.m.

Immediately after the AGM, BIOQuébec is proud to present the results of the study conducted in 2022 on CROs in Quebec.

A CRO, or contract research organization, is a company that provides, on the basis of a contract, services in the field of biomedical research. With the update of the Quebec Life Sciences Strategy (QLSS) in May 2022, we felt that the time was right to measure the evolution of the development of CROs within the Quebec life sciences sector in recent years. This study thus provides an overview of the results of the efforts invested since the first QLSS launched in 2017, and more particularly with CROs and their development in Quebec. BIOQuebec and CATALIS, with the financial support of the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy, conducted this study to outline the profile of the sector and measure its evolution, strengths and needs.

Round table discussion on CROs in Quebec - 5:30 p.m.

Following the presentation of the results of the study conducted in 2022 on CROs in Quebec, we will organize a round table discussion in the presence of our panelists:
