A delegation of New Zealand life sciences companies who have reached key stages in their development are joining the throngs of international therapeutics, medical device and health IT companies in San Francisco, January 9 - 12 to showcase their products and capabilities to potential corporate partners and investors.

According to Duncan Catanach, Trade Commissioner/Director West Americas, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, New Zealand's modern life sciences industry is built upon a 150+ year heritage of applied science and engineering. “Initially focused primarily on agriculture, the country's scientific and technological capabilities have increasingly generated a wide range of human health applications including medical devices and diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines, wound healing technologies, health IT, and life science research tools.”
