“French BIO Sea” is non-profit network to foster academic and business partnerships between France and the Seattle area.

Our vision is to:
- Increase international visibility to investors and entrepreneurs from the Seattle biotech community.
- Expose French biotech companies to the business know-how of Seattle start-ups.
- Help French scientists find job opportunities at home or in Seattle.
French BIO Sea is backed by the French Trade Office, the French American Chamber of Commerce -Pacific Northwest Chapter-.

The “French BIO Sea” initiative is called to be as successful as French BIO Beach (San Diego) and French BIO Bay (San Francisco).
