Structure and content of the program

The structure of this program is based on program modules with emphasis on Bio- and MedTech Entrepreneurship. These modules have been integrated in a progressive order of thematic clusters. With a common denominator, the creation and financing of BioTech and MedTech enterprises, they range from “Start-up a Business Opportunity” to “Business Planning” and ”Preclinical & Clinical Studies”, including the “Mandatory Regulatory and Legal Affairs” as well as “Financing“, to end with an overview of possible “Exit Strategies”.

Participants will be trained on how to start and finance a BioBusiness or a MedTech Business. The teaching program also includes the mandatory regulatory and legal frameworks that are instrumental in the BioBusiness and MedTech Business. Working in teams, participants will be asked to design and develop a plan for developing new business concepts. Teams will tackle an eminently interdisciplinary project, requiring contributions from various disciplines and offering excellent opportunities for knowledge and skills enhancement. Participants will prepare and pitch an executive summary at the end of the program to a panel of investors. Participants will be able to interact and network with biotechnology and medical technology entrepreneurs and investors. Lectures and seminars will be held by a world-class team of lecturers and instructors from industry, academia and venture capital.
