What is Bits in Bio // Belgium?

Bits in Bio is an international community that brings together people from the tech and biotech worlds to learn from each other and explore ideas/opportunities at the intersection of both domains.

The Belgian chapter organizes events via this Meetup community.

Who is this interesting for?

• Students, researchers, and (aspiring) entrepreneurs interested in biotech, life sciences, health innovation, or digital
• People from tech who want to learn about applications/challenges in biology and regulated contexts
• People from biotech/pharma who want to learn more about tech practices (e.g., agile, data/AI, product)

What can you expect at the events?

Typically: talks, cases, and networking. In the list of past events you’ll see themes such as:

• Agile in a regulated world
• GenAI & health (e.g., “Hello Doctor GPT?”)
• Evenings in collaboration with hosts/companies (e.g., Wintercircus, Ontoforce)

Why join?

• You meet people and organizations from both ecosystems (biotech/pharma ↔ digital/startups)
• You gain new perspectives and best practices (from product & engineering to innovation in regulated environments)
• You expand your network in Belgium around health/biotech/digital
