Key industry executives, leading academic scientist,
entrepreneurs and investors will gather at the fifth Dutch Life
Sciences Capitals 2009 to explore trends, innovations and business
opportunities in the Dutch
Life Sciences sector. The development
and growth of young innovative companies is dependent on their
ability to attract investments, obtain partners and create
international commercial and technical networks. The central theme
of Life Sciences Capitals 2009 is Financing and Growth Strategies.
Funding for early stage Life Sciences companies is difficult,
especially in the current economic environment. What alternative
ways are there for companies to raise capital? What are the most
successful business models today? In this context, the impact of
public-private partnerships on the growth of companies, innovation
and entrepreneurship in Life Sciences will also be discussed.
The programme features a.o.:
>> Plenary sessions with keynote presentations
addressing financing and growth strategies for Life Sciences
companies.
>> Investors forum offering early stage companies
excellent opportunities to present their company to all major Dutch
Life Sciences investors and discuss their business strategy,
technology directions and capital raising plan.
>> Business opportunities including licensing-in and
possibilities for starting up a company utilising technology,
excellent support and seed financing from Dutch universities.
>> Information market with tabletop presentations from
emerging companies, start-ups, research organisations and
universities.
