Event venue

The Life Science Investors’ Day will be held at the Business Development Center Heidelberg (Carl-Friedrich-Gauß-Ring 5, 69124 Heidelberg). Located in the Heidelberg Innovation Park (HIP)—the city’s newest hotspot for innovation—it’s a hub for life science startups and was once the temporary home of BioLabs Heidelberg.

The venue is just a 15-minute walk (or 1.3km by taxi) from Heidelberg’s main train station and less than an hour’s drive from Frankfurt International Airport. Free visitor parking is also available onsite (limited).
