We are a small team of scientists from Germany, China and Japan, located in Stuttgart, Germany, and fascinated by the advances of the life sciences and their “bio-digital” integration. Since more than ten years, we collect life science- and technology-related news from China, Japan and other Asian nations, day by day. We provide short summaries of these news on our websites www.window-to-china.de and www.window-to-japan.eu
Some of these news are discussed in more depth in books, reports or articles. Recent examples are shown below.
We also publish news from Japan and China through LinkedIn and Twitter (in English), XING and “Nachrichten aus der Chemie” (in German).
We also have done single-client studies and competitive analysis on life-science related issues and IP for various European companies. If you should be interested in such kind of a study, please contact rolf.d.schmid@bio4business.eu
