bioRN News December 2024
Dear *|FNAME|* *|LNAME|

the year is drawing to a close and for the last time in 2024 we report on the events of the past few weeks.
You can read about the highlights of 2024 in the Annual Report, which is available to download from our website.

bioRN December Highlights: 
The M2M session with our member Nanobot on "scientific storytelling" provided insights into the impact of medical animations and the great contributions from the participants emphasised the added value of the company presentations for the bioRN member community.
Here you can find the videos of past M2M interviews. The relaxed Christmas period is the perfect time for learning more about our member companies!

The bioRN HR community met for a workshop on “employer branding” - a topic at the interface between HR and Communications, who engaged in intensive dialogue and were able to take many ideas back to their companies. The next HR breakfast will take place in March and will be announced soon on our website.


We were represented at the sixth annual event of the Baden-Württemberg Healthcare Forum, where over 200 experts discussed technological advances and future improvements in healthcare. ‘Innovations in the healthcare sector not only bring scientific progress, but also improve the quality of life of many people. The Forum Gesundheitsstandort is the platform for closely interlinking research, care and business and for driving forward new developments for the benefit of all patients’, emphasized Minister President Winfried Kretschmann. Read the detailed report here.
