While many consider Japan's economy to be on the track to
recovery, trends in the U.S. economy and soaring oil prices
may have an adverse effect on economic conditions both in
Japan and overseas.
To ensure sustainable development in the future, it is essential
for Japan to promote innovation so as to create competitive
industries, cultivate social value, and generate jobs and
profits, while forging partnerships with nations in Asia
and other regions in the world.
The bioindustry is expected to become a driving force to
help achieve these goals. Not only is the bio industry closely
related to health, food, energy, the environment, and other
aspects directly affecting people's quality of life, but
it also plays a significant role in many other industries
including pharmaceutical, food, chemical, machine, and IT
industries. Moreover, the intricate integration of science
and technology in the industry has stimulated business activity
on a global scale.
In the field of healthcare, personalized medicine and preventative
care have finally begun to take form and generated new businesses
such as functional foods. Furthermore, the Hokkaido Toyako
G8 Summit in 2008, which will most certainly focus on issues
of global warming, will further accelerate utilization of
biofuels and biomass plastics.In anticipation of this harvesting,
we have adopted as the concept of BioJapan 2008 "Now Is
the Harvest Time". BioJapan 2008, with the aim of contributing
to development of the bio industry, will offer various programs
integrating exhibitions and seminars, show the latest developments
in the industry, and promote global business networking.

As a new attempt, the exhibition floor is going to be divided
into several zones to make it easier for visitors to find
the booths of their interest. We are also thinking of utilizing
this zoning to create livelier traffic of visitors between
the exhibition hall and the seminar rooms where many informative
seminars are offered by the organizer.
The free floor map distributed at the venue will contain
zone maps so that visitors can see at a glance what are
exhibited by which exhibitor at which zone.
At BioJapan 2008, we are also considering "happy-hour" gathering
after four o'clock during the event, during which volunteering
exhibitors treat visitors with their local specialty liqueurs
and snacks, so as to lead as many seminar participants as
possible to the exhibition hall and promote their stay after
the seminars. We invite all of you to see yourself this
ever-evolving BioJapan.
