Biotechnology is one of the most innovative and impactful sectors in people's lives due to its growing application in medicine, agriculture and the environment, as well as in the food and industrial sectors. 

BIOVAL is the Valencian Community's biotechnology cluster, currently comprising over 100 members of diverse types: companies and public/private research centers, hospitals, foundations, universities, and technology centers, among others. Its members include leading figures in biotechnology research whose scientific advances were confirmed amidst the uncertainty of COVID-19, such as:

• IMAGE (www.imegen.es) (Institute of Genomic Medicine) which developed a test for detecting Sars-Cov-2 by transcribing the genes typical of it, making its capabilities available to individuals, health centers and companies. 
• BIOINICIA (www.bioinicia.com) which recently developed, in collaboration with CSIC, and launched on the market a mask with a nanofiber filter that is approved and certified by the corresponding bodies.  

The third Night of BIO will be held on October 22nd, an event to promote the Valencian Community as a leader in the areas of biotechnology, biomedicine and bioeconomy.

For the first time, and due to the circumstances caused by the global health crisis, this event will be virtual. This new format, despite its obvious limitations, presents a great opportunity for all those interested in attending the Gala, as it is a very exclusive event that, in its in-person format, had limited capacity and was only accessible to a very specific group. This online edition allows for a greater number of participants.

Silvia Leal's motivational conference, entitled "Keys to Understanding the Future and Building the Post-COVID Present," will kick off an evening in which BIOVAL aims to inspire its members and collaborators with the excitement and enthusiasm for the great future that lies ahead for the BIO sector, as well as the commitment and pride of belonging to such a promising and high-potential industry.

In addition, the Night of BIO hosts the presentation of the BIOVAL Awards, which seek to recognize, promote and enhance the work developed in the BIO sector of the Valencian Community for the benefit of the advancement in research, technology and bioeconomy, recognizing those projects that will have a great return in the concept of improvement for Spanish society. 

EDYPRO has always been closely linked to the Association of companies and entities in the BIO sector, which encompasses biotechnology, biomedicine, and bioeconomy and constitutes the Valencian Community bioregion (BIOVAL). Our company was one of its founding members in 2006 and joined its board of directors in 2012.

And for this reason we have decided to add our support to the BIO sector, in which we develop our activity and recognize the work of the companies in the region that operate in it, by sponsoring this event.

We invite you to register and participate in this exclusive event and learn firsthand about the projects being developed by leaders in biotechnology research that will revolutionize the world in the near future.
