Collaborations between three types of communities:
* The San Diego biotech community
* The French biotech community
* French scientists working in the San Diego area
All three communities stand to benefit from a tighter collaboration network:
* Increased international visibility to investors and entrepreneurs for the San Diego biotech community
* Access to sources of capital and exposure to a proven biotech start-up climate for French biotech companies
* Helping French scientists find job opportunities at home or in San Diego
We plan to organize three types of events in San Diego (see calendar)
* Networking mixers
* Discussion panels (eg "EU business opportunities for San Diego biotechs" or "The reasons behind San Diego success in the life sciences")
* Visits for French biotech firms to showcase their technology platforms or product pipelines
