About the Breakthrough Symposium
The people, companies and research organizations involved in biotech are much like those who entered on the forefront of the frontier. We are pioneers, many of whom were among the earliest to enter with inquiry and curiosity, opening the door for others to join in the development and growth of this exciting enterprise. Breakthrough Symposium is hosted in Fargo, North Dakota; a city founded by explorers willing to endure the unknown to make a better life. Pioneers see potential and Breakthrough Symposium 2021 will bring together some of the most innovative minds looking to unlock the possibilities to solve the world’s biggest health challenges.
