The carreer event fot Bio, Chemistry, Food & Pharma

Thursday 26 May 2011, Amsterdam RAI

Over six years have passed since the first BCF Event took place. In this time both the number of visitors and exhibitors have tripled. But how did it come this far? Haifen Hu, initiator of Bio Career Event, explains: “When I studied Biotechnology, I noticed that it was difficult to get information on the job market. I knew the multinationals and received enough information on PhD-positions, but that was it. I visited the National Career Fair, but this was too broad. The people I spoke to there weren’t scientists.”

During her work at BioPartner, Haifen Hu saw that a lot of small and medium sized enterprises were founded in Life Sciences. She also had a lot of contact with starting entrepreneurs. Through these contacts she got inspired to start her own company, hyphen projects, to organize events.


“There was immediate enthusiasm about my idea of setting up a separate career event for Life Sciences,” Haifen Hu elaborates. “For the first Bio Career Event we expected 400 visitors, but there were over 900.” The KNCV was also enthusiastic about the event and advised to organize a similar event for chemistry. So the next year Chemistry Career Event was organized together with Bio Career Event. Because of this, the number of exhibitors and visitors grew considerably. The exhibitors themselves, especially the sponsors, asked to involve the sectors Food and Pharma. Thus, BCF Event was born.

But where lies the future for BCF Event? Haifen Hu: “Our top priority is to keep our visitors and exhibitors satisfied. It is important that BCF Event stays an event with an intimate character and room for personal contact.”
