Linking Life Sciences to Business
>>
A success story starts with the proper business planning tools...
More than 500 scientists trained to date in Biobiz™ workshops has led to the creation, the financing and the development over 40 European biotechnology companies.
Sponsored by the European Commission and Eurobiobiz, the Biobiz 4 business planning workshops are open to all European member, candidate and associated states' citizens who are potential biotech entrepreneurs.
What is the goal of Biobiz™?
Biobiz™ ultimately aims to increase the number of successful start-up companies in Europe by facilitating scientists' access to capital through better business planning.
Individual counselling is also available on a one to one basis, during the workshop.
This requires signing a confidentiality agreement prior to the workshop, as well as sending documents (executive summary) to EUROBIOBIZ at least 3 weeks before the workshop start date.
