1. Andrew Lloyd & Associates joins forces with Adebiotech
to foster cross-discipline innovation in biotech industries
ALA will help raise Adebiotech’s profile and support the independent think-tank
in its growth
Paris, France, March 2, 2016 – Andrew Lloyd & Associates (ALA), an international
public relations group for companies and organizations working in life sciences and
innovative technologies, and Adebiotech, an independent cross-disciplinary think-tank for
biotechnology in France, today announce that they have signed a partnership agreement
to promote interdisciplinary discussion and innovation in the field of biotechnology. In
particular, this partnership aims to raise awareness of Adebiotech’s activities amongst
specialist audiences interested in developments concerning human and animal health,
the environment, energy, food processing, cosmetics, processes and industrial systems,
amongst others.
Founded in 2006 and boasting 2,000 members and supporters, Adebiotech leads working
groups that result in national scientific conferences in emerging areas with strong societal
implications. The organization’s activities include connecting public and private bodies
with national and regional institutions, and representatives of civil society. The next
event will address the issue of antibiotic resistance (An integrated approach, from the
environment to mankind – webpage in French). Sponsored by the French Ministry of
Social Affairs and Health, the event will play host to all the main players in the field, who
will be addressed by 40 speakers on March 16 and 17 at the Biocitech city complex for
healthcare and biotechnology businesses in Romainville, France.
ALA will support and advise Adebiotech on its public relations activities throughout the
year, with the aim of raising the organization’s profile and increasing the visibility of its
activities and partnerships, as well as its events. In return, ALA will have opportunities to
engage with Adebiotech’s network and its members.
“We have chosen to join forces with Andrew Lloyd & Associates, which has a wealth of
specialist public relations experience, to support the development of Adebiotech’s
reputation and allow us to take part in the cross-disciplinary public debate on
biotechnology. Biotech is pervasive to all sectors and represents a major source of jobs
and opportunities for growth,” said Manuel Gea, chairman of Adebiotech. “In the
immediate future, this strategic partnership with ALA allows us to raise awareness among
key media about our work and conference achievements. It will also have long-term
benefits for the organization and all our members, allowing us to position ourselves as
the leading player at the forefront of the scientific, business and social debates within
biotechnology.”
“We are delighted to have established this agreement with Adebiotech that focuses on
key areas right at the core of our expertise,” said Juliette dos Santos, director at Andrew
Lloyd & Associates. “Since our company was founded in 1987, we have specialized in
innovative technologies and are involved in all the areas that Adebiotech covers at its
conferences, from environment to energy via health care. As such, we are well placed to
support the organization by increasing its visibility with its target audience, both in the
media and via social networks.”
