📌 Description

Do you feel the need to incorporate some business knowledge in your life sciences career? This event will focus on the steps required to go from an idea to a real-world solution. Participants will learn how to start a business from the economic perspective, focusing on the economic resources available for early-stage life sciences startups. After this formative session, entrepreneurs and professionals of the biotech sector will discuss in a round table the lifecycle stages startups find during its evolution. The round table will cover from seed and development to growth and establishment of the startup. Each phase has different objectives and requirements. Identifying each phase is important to establish priorities and knowing if the startup should be working towards a prototype or rising capital, with the goal of bringing a product to reality.

We expect participants from or interested in the life sciences sector, passionate about changing the world through science and technology and with the desire to learn from professionals that have already gone through the exciting journey of startups. If you already have an idea and would like to make it real, it will be an excellent opportunity to connect with people from other sectors and professionals.
