BioTech and start-ups – What’s happening in the region?

Due to their innovative potential, biotech start-ups contribute significantly to health, sustainability and economic strength in our region. Nevertheless, many founders face a variety of challenges that are difficult to overcome on their own. A functioning network is crucial for the successful establishment of a biotech start-up that also benefits society.

Consequently, with this workshop we aim to connect stakeholders from the biotechnology and start-up ecosystem to discuss threats and opportunities of successfully developing bio-inspired business models.

This event will:

•  Highlight the biotech potential for society – Insights into current developments and exciting projects
•  Introduce promising biotech start-ups and supporters
•  Be an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the ecosystem, to exchange ideas, challenges, and solutions
