BioHabana 2024 is the second edition of this scientific and business event. Innovation in Health requires the interconnection of innovation ecosystems at a global level.
The internationalization of R&D&I activity and the globalization of high-tech companies is a worldwide trend in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors. BioHabana 2024 will be a space for building collaborative networks among scientists, opinion leaders, entrepreneurs and businessmen.
There is a new revolution in the biological sciences in the 21st century, which has given rise to the concept of the "new biology", as a science of convergence with Nanosciences and Data Science, which captures the complexity of biological systems.
It is necessary to draw lessons from Covid-19 for future health emergencies. Cuba's experience in the control of this disease indicates the epidemiological impact of social factors. In the post - Covid19 stage we will have an increase in the burden of mortality from chronic non-communicable diseases, among others, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
The concept of "One Health" teaches us the need for a holistic approach, which includes not only human health, but also food production and environmental protection. A "clean" and "smart" industry (Industry 4.0) is a necessity of the contemporary world.
The effective use of all these new possibilities will also require changes in the management of value chains and business models, which will have to be approached with creativity and organizational innovation.
Inspired by the success of the first edition of this event held in 2022, BioCubaFarma, the Cuban Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Industry Group, calls the scientific and business community of the world to the BioHabana 2024 Congress. In this second edition we intend, together with scientists and businessmen, to give continuity to the debate we started in the previous edition and introduce new topics.
This Congress will be a unique space for its scope and diversity in both topics and actors, an accelerator of innovation, and a tool for the promotion of cooperation and business.
Connectivity and globalization will characterize BioHabana 2024. We look forward to seeing you there!
