Happy New Year! Here comes the Black water Dragon. As of January 23, 2012, better get ready to rock and roll….

Or else crawl under a rock until it's over. In a Dragon year, everything is magnified tenfold. Dragon year, therefore, is propitious for people who have the courage to take risks and hold firmly to their principles.

So the master word is entrepreneurship…. I don’t think our Biomarine community has waited for this to get ready as I already feel a very busy and fruitful climate around us.  This morning when I started writing this editorial I was really glad to see another achievement of our efforts to connect your businesses :  Aquapharm (Andrew Mearns-Spragg- UK) and Aqua Bio Technology (Arvid Lindberg – Norway) are ready to work together to develop the next ultimate marine ingredient for skin care.

BioMarine is the only international platform dedicated to marine bio resources. It’s a real crossroad for the most dynamic sectors such as marine ingredients, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, blue biotechnologies, cleantech, aquaculture, aquafeed and human nutrition. It’s a real world of business opportunities that you really want to grab…This is our BioMarine ultimate goal!

This year, our co-organising partner International Aquafeed magazine will help us to buzz and reach to the entire BioMarine community around the world. We have been redesigning our platform to offer you a unique place to network efficiently and work on important topics and issues from your day to day business. The 250 attendees will take an active role in the discussion and debates.

YES, you got it right 250, executive speakers ready to share and explain how they handle their businesses, their development and their R&D. This year our partnering system is provided by Team Resa: simple, efficient and flexible… we will foster your business opportunities….

So let’s get down to business. Join us and start sharing with us and our program committee your ideas and the issues you would like the think-tanks to focus on.

London is the international 2012 capital city: Olympic games, Queen’s diamond jubilee etc…BioMarine 2012 will also allow you to discover some of the nicest heritage places:
-   The Fishmonger’s Hall was the perfect location for our convention: land mark, cosy, friendly, convenient ….What else?

-  The prestigious House of Parliament where we will organise our closing gala ….

We really look forward to seeing you in London…
