STARTUP PITCH & PARTNER
The interactive Startup Pitch & Partner program is the virtual venue for European life-science and biotech entrepreneurs, founders and startups to present their business idea and network with leading venture capitalists, investors and top biotech/pharma companies. The program evolved from Biotech Networkshop and is organized in partnership between Ascenion and Max Planck Innovation. Selected startups from all life-science areas (e.g. biotech, medtech) will be offered the chance to pitch their venture live in front of the BioVaria Startup Jury members!
Up to 15 selected top startups will compete for a BioVaria Startup Award in the following two categories:
EMERGING
Pre-seed teams in the founding process or founded within past 4 years.
BioVaria Emerging Startup Award: EUR 1,000.
RISING
Post-seed teams seeking follow-on funding in the near future.
BioVaria Rising Startup Award: EUR 2,000.
Applications are now closed.
Check back here again in fall/winter 2024 to apply for the next Startup Pitch & Partner (2025).
