Dear participants of the IXA2019 Congress,

It was our great pleasure to host the main event of the International Xenotransplantation Association in Munich and we hope that you all enjoyed it as much as we did. We would like to thank all speakers and presenters from academia, industry and the regulatory authorities, who impressively documented the momentum that xenotransplantation research has taken up over the last years. It was particularly encouraging to see how many young researchers adopted xenotransplantation as their research topic, all pulling together to move xenotransplantation of cells, tissues and organs to clinical application. Thus, our Society is facing very exciting times, probably the most exciting ever.

Very best wishes and see you at the IXA/IPITA/CTRMS Congress 2021 in San Diego!
