BIOTECanada Gold Leaf Awards

As a celebration of Canadian innovation, BIOTECanada's Gold Leaf Awards program is your opportunity to recognize both companies and individuals that have made significant achievements to our industry. Launched in 2001, these prestigious awards are given annually by Canada’s national biotechnology industry association.

Formerly the National Biotechnology Awards, we're pleased to launch our revitalized program at the BIO International Convention in San Diego (June 17-20, 2008). Our awards presentation will take place at our booth on the exhibit show floor during the Exhibit Open House, Tuesday, June 17.
