HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“BioTech4U” is the new accompanying program for schoolchildren at Europe’s largest biotechnology trade fair BIOTECHNICA held from October 7 through 9, 2008. The youth initiative will be aimed at 12th-grade pupils who are particularly interested in mathematical and natural-science subjects and courses. To this end, Deutsche Messe AG has made its own hall available, right next to BIOTECHNICA. “The lack of upcoming talent and specialized staff is an increasingly burning issue for the biotech sector. As the leading European fair, BIOTECHNICA can make a substantial contribution toward inspiring young people to take up biotechnology and help them choose the right study subject”, says Stephan Kühne, member of the Board of Directors of Deutsche Messe AG, Hannover.
