11. BIO.NRW Business Angel Congress

Under the title “Places to be – and where to go looking for (an) investment” BIO.NRW invites you to the 11th Business Angel Congress (BAC). The congress pursues new approaches to providing creative funding for the biotech and life sciences scene. This year, the focus will be on the chances opened up in special places to be or to go, such as accelerators. New developments such as SPAC as well as established tools will be presented and discussed by founders, SMEs, business angels, venture capitalists, institutional investors, representatives of EIT Health, and policy makers.

Founders, CEOs, business angels, Super Angels, and institutional investors are invited to come and witness new international developments first hand.
