for more information. The facility includes a newly constructed exhibition hall where specially invited companies have the opportunity to spotlight their products and operations. The exhibition venue will be permanent but the contents will vary every 3 to 6 months. Visitors are specially invited decision-makers in the academic world, industry, finance, politics and the media. 100,000 visitors are expected every year. Company exposure takes the form of posters and brochures placed at the existing unmanned exhibition stands, and in addition the hall´s own information personnel are on hand to assist visitors. If you are interested in the Chinese market, this may be a good opportunity to check out the possibilities. All that is needed of you is a PDF file with your information material including posters, brochures and contact data in English or Swedish — the material will be translated and printed locally. If you wish to utilise this offer, please contact Marja Janusson here at GöteborgBIO. Marja´s contact address is marja.janusson@businessregion.se. Strategic Calls:
We would also like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the fact that the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research has earmarked 15 million kronor for a strategic mobility drive covering a period of two years. Applications are invited from companies that would like financing assistance to cover salaries and other related costs for personnel for four to twelve months. The requirement is that during this period, the employee conducts research, research-based operations or technical development within the natural sciences, technology or medicine, and that these activities are conducted within a different area than the one with which the employee normally works. Information about the programme and the relevant terms and conditions can be found on the SSF website, www.stratresearch.se,
and applications must be received no later than September 4.

The purpose is to strengthen the ability of companies, organisations and the labor market as a whole, in order to meet change. The call is entailed with a budget of 45 MSEK, targeting 2009-2013.
