CONFERENCE CHAIR
Dear Delegates,
Let me begin by saying a huge welcome to all of our upcoming distinguished speakers, industrial members, and participants from various countries, in coming together to be a part of our event. With the success from previous ICOBMs, I am honored to chair this event again in the beautiful city of Taipei, Taiwan.
We have several major tracks that cover the most important aspects in the areas of beneficial microorganisms, namely Food Microbiology, Science & Technology, Nutrition and Nutraceuticals, Medical & Health, and Agriculture & Animal Health. Many distinguished speakers, all well repute in their respective research areas, will be delivering very interesting current perspectives in these tracks, and I believe their talks will benefit us all. It is my dream, that we foster much knowledge and idea exchanges during this event.
I would also like to highlight that this event gives huge emphases on the development of budding and talented young scientists, in hope that we can create new opportunities for better solutions to both national and international challenges. It is also important to appreciate young scientists for their contributions in science and creativity towards the generation of new ideas. To achieve these, we have created several Young Scientist Awards.
I would like to proudly welcome our industrial sponsoring partners, and to thank them for their continuous supports in our event. Some of our partners are also presenting their most current insights, from the views of the industries. I would like to highlight that our event also gives emphasis to the roles of the industries, with strong principles that research and industry are interlinked.
A successful conference is the sum of many important elements. Therefore, in addition to all mentioned above, I believe this conference cannot be a success without the active participation from our participants. I hope all will participate and contribute fruitful discussions and networking during the event. Let’s make this a success together.
A huge WELCOME to all. Thank you.
Best Regards,
