BioFIT and the WBC Incubator are pleased to announce that they will be putting together a special edition of WBC Club during BioFIT 2018 in Lille. This session, called «Would-be CEO Networking Lunch», will be held on the second day of BioFIT (5^th December).

As talented CEOs are so much sought-after by so many stakeholders of the biotech industry, to both launch and drive new companies to success, this special WBC Club session will bring together representatives of emerging start-ups, technology transfer offices, incubators and investing networks as well as CEOs and would-be CEOs to address this crucial issue.

Since 2010, WBC Incubator has validated close to 100 biotech professionals in Belgium for their ability to match and work with scientific founders and entrepreneurs with the collective aim to build together more exciting business plans, stronger investment propositions and faster business development programmes. In Belgium, biotech CEOs and Would-be CEOs meet regularly to discuss business opportunities during so-called WBC Club events.

The «Would-be CEO Networking Lunch» is organised to present the WBC incubation model to BioFIT participants. Please also note that Would-be CEOs will be identified using the BioFIT partnering platform.

Any bioentrepreneur looking for a project to get involved in is welcome to join BioFIT and particularly this would-be CEOs networking lunch. Any incubator or tech transfer entity looking for an entrepreneur to lead their start-up launch projects is also welcome to join.

[Hosted events] R&D dating for animal health and innovation

News / Valentine Delabie

BioFIT 2018 will host the 4^th edition of the “R&D dating for Animal Health and Innovation” business convention, at the French association for the animal healthcare industry (SIMV)’s initiative, on the 4^th and 5^th of December 2018, in Lille.

Today, public-private and private-private partnerships are thought to be the leverage that is needed for innovation. That is why the SIMV launched the “R&D dating for Animal Health and Innovation”, which strives to initiate high-level exchanges between research departments of the veterinary medicine and diagnostics industry and public research, as well as with biotechnology companies (start-ups).

By enabling face-to-face encounters, the event will enhance the visibility of cutting-edge research in France and in Europe, encourage investments and lead to therapeutic innovation.

About SIMV

While being the organiser of this meeting, the SIMV intends to federate research actors by actively contributing to meet the needs in animal health innovation. In particular, enhanced research is needed to supplement and renew the therapeutic arsenal for the treatment of infectious diseases and therefore research and innovation on this topic should be promoted.
