P-BIO - Portugal’s Biotechnology Industry Organization is the only association that brings together the vast majority of companies linked to the biotechnology and life sciences sector. Since it was founded in 1999, it has been the cornerstone for development and support of biotechnology in Portugal. P-BIO seeks to develop an environment that is favourable to the creation and growth of start-ups, promoting their corporate development domestically and internationally. While developing this ecosystem, it contributes to raising the profile of this sector and its developments. As a member of EuropaBio, the Organization is key to linking companies and their relevant partners in government, investors, regulating agencies and other institutions linked to the industry.
