Life Science
Investors’ Day

Heidelberg
September 28th, 2023

Mission

We believe that life science startups need a well-functioning ecosystem to be successful. That’ s why we’re joining forces and closing the gaps in the value chain from technology transfer to financing clinical trials.

The Life Science Investors’ Day facilitates a continuous exchange between investors and founders. Recognizing opportunities early and jointly realizing potential.

2023 will again bring together life science investors, founding projects and startups from all over the world. In one of the most important medical locations in Europe, the Greater Heidelberg Region. We would love you to be part of it!

In 2023 the Life Science Investors’ Day Heidelberg will also be home to the BWCAD2 pitches. The aim of the project is to support basic researchers in the field of drug development on their way to successful translation or spin-off.

Agenda

We are looking forward to welcome you on September 28th, 2023.

We have again an agenda packed with pitches and networking for 2023! We are dedicated to create ample opportunity to exchange with Life Science Investors and Life Science Startups from Europe and the Life Science innovation ecosystem of the greater Heidelberg area.
