On May 31, 2011 OBIO together with event sponsors, Sanofi, Torys, BDC and PWC hosted the Second Annual Quebec/Ontario Bioscience CEO dinner. The tradition started in 2010, to provide bioscience industry leadership with a unique opportunity to connect and discuss industry issues in a relaxed interacitve setting while enjoying a fine meal and refreshments. Building on last year’s positive word of mouth, the 2011 event was over-subscribed.

Attendees included industry leadership from therapeutic, device, diagnostic and healthcare IT companies, lawyers with sector and IP expertise; accountants with industry experience in programs such as SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program) and financial and capital market executives.
