BioFIT 2026 in Marseille: where to stay near Parc Chanot

BioFIT 2026 returns to Marseille for its fifteenth edition as the leading European meeting point for technology transfer and academia-industry collaboration in life sciences. On 10 and 11 December, the Palais de l'Europe at Parc Chanot will welcome over 1,200 professionals from 35 countries: big pharma, emerging biotechs, diagnostic firms, pre-seed and Series A investors, technology transfer offices and research institutions. The programme blends pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, conference sessions across four tracks, pitches of innovative projects and an exhibition area showcasing services and expertise from across the ecosystem. The pitch formats —Start-up Slams, Research & Licensing Partnerships and Animal Health Presentations— give projects exposure to international juries and specialist investors. Eurasanté organises the event, supported by institutional partners and industry sponsors. The venue sits in Marseille's 8th arrondissement, next to Rond-point du Prado, with good links to the city centre and the airport. Negotiated rates are available at selected city hotels for attendees who need accommodation during the fair.
