'Series in Advancements in Cell Therapy' (SACT), has emerged as a pivotal platform in India, propelling the Cell Therapy Industry to the forefront, garnering global attention for its advancements in new therapies, research and development, and manufacturing in just one year since its inauguration. The inaugural SACT event and its sequel witnessed resounding success, drawing over 300 on-site delegates each and earning positive acclaim from stakeholders in the Cell Therapy community, spanning academia and industry, in India.
Looking ahead, the 3rd SACT, planned for 1st - 3rd February 2024, is envisioned to be one of the largest International Cell Therapy Meetings in the Asia-Pacific Region for 2024, and will subsequently transition into an annual event thereby becoming a steadfast source of education, innovation, networking and collaboration in the field of Cell Therapy in India and the Asia-Pacific Region.
Projected participation of 450+ delegates, representing all aspects of the Cell Therapy space spanning India and all APAC countries, along with the members of the ISCT society, makes it poised to be a convergence of expertise, collaboration, and innovation that will undoubtedly contribute to the advancement of Cell Therapy on a global scale.
Being the first of its kind in India, an Academic-Industry meeting focused on bridging the gap and facilitating further collaboration, it also presents a compelling opportunity for prospective Cell Therapy investors and companies to not only participate but also cultivate a vested interest in the burgeoning Indian Cell Therapy market.
We look forward to welcoming you to ACTREC, Tata Memorial Centre, Navi Mumbai for this event.
