RESI Europe 2024

The international conference Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI),, organized by Life Science Nation (LSN), will take place in Barcelona from June 17th to 19th, 2024, to connect early-stage startups with investors to establish strategic alliances. It is also a hot spot for service providers and technological hubs. This marks the conference's inaugural venture into Europe, typically held in the United States, with Barcelona chosen as the host city, thanks to Biocat in collaboration with the Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council.

The event, which will bring together around 600 professionals, 50% of whom will be international investors, will span over three days: on June 17, it will be held in person to facilitate partnering meetings between startups and investors. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in conferences and workshops featuring prominent speakers from the sector. For the following two days, June 18 and 19, the event will transition to a virtual format.

1. Unique Opportunity in Barcelona: RESI arrives for the first time in Barcelona, turning the city into an international hub for early-stage startup investment. Connect with professionals, investors, and experts worldwide without leaving your local environment.
    
2. Access to a broad global network of investors: RESI brings together some of the leading investors in biotech, diagnostics, digital health, medical devices, among others. Showcase your business project and unlock new business opportunities.
    
3. Panels and workshops: Learn about the latest market trends, investment strategies, and best business practices.
    
4. Networking opportunities: RESI is not only a platform for exchanging investment opportunities and a space for collaboration and innovation. Create new synergies, and strategic alliances with other stakeholders through the partnering platform.
    
5. The Innovator's Pitch Challenge: You'll have the opportunity to present your innovation to a panel of investors and participate in a Q&A session.
