The adventure of bioentrepreneurship: keys to success

Becoming a bioentrepreneur is an increasingly frequent and interesting option. Successful companies, however, require a special mix of ingredients.

But... When is an idea really a good opportunity? How can you protect it? What is the best business model to move forward with a project? Where you can find the funding? Which are the main risks facing small companies?

During the course, bioentrepreneurs from Catalonia will explain to participants their experience heading up innovative and international companies, as well as the successes, failures, problems and satisfactions of bioentrepreneuring.

This course is geared towards students and recent graduates in life sciences(biology, pharmacy, biotechnology, medicine, biochemistry, veterinary sciences and chemistry), masters students, PhD students and young researchers.

The program is comprised of four sessions which will be held on 3,10,17 and 24 May at the Auditorium Esteve of the Esther Koplowitz Center (KSC).

The sessions will be moderated by Jordi Naval, director of FBG and will involve two PCB entrepreneurs: Teresa Tarragó, co-founder and CEO of Iproteos, and Marc Martinell, founder and director of Minoryx Therapeutics, among others.
