# BioPhorum

> BioPhorum is a global collaboration network for the biopharmaceutical industry. It brings manufacturers, biotechnology companies, medical device organisations, contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs), and suppliers together to develop shared practices and address industry challenges. Its services include professional training, specialist data resources and implementation support.

BioPhorum's specialist collaboration groups are called Phorums. Their workstreams focus on specific technical and operational challenges. The links below provide organisational information, selected publications, topic-specific collaboration pages and service information.
