Innovative Therapies Days 2025

While the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region is the birthplace of microtechnology, it is the combination of those technologies with cell therapies that enabled the RIGHT institute to bring out flagship products like CAR-T cells!

These innovations will be highlighted on the 09th and 10th of October, 2025, since Besançon will welcome the biggest global players specialised in the development of innovative therapies, their production and their regulatory supervision.

Clinicians, scientists, industrial partners will in turn present their latest scientific progress on the development of CAR-T cells, stem cells or pluripotent cells, their transfer to clinical trials and the challenges of their industrial production.

This wide range of actors, from academic to private, local to international, will also give their vision of the use of innovative therapies in tomorrow’s medicine. The “Innovative Therapies Days” will give a large part to exchanges between partners through an Exhibitor Village, B2B sessions and discussion times.
