Course: Claus per Bioemprendre 2018 (2nd session)

Are you involved in biomedical research and interested in starting your own company? Would you like to learn about the career options in healthcare beyond academia? Would you like to hear about the experiences of others who have already chosen this path?

Biocat organizes the “Claus per Bioemprendre” introductory course in bioentrepreneurship to share the personal experiences of top bioentrepreneurs in Catalonia with students and researchers.

The course has three three-hour sessions, covering the role of entrepreneurship in biotechnology; the first steps in bioentrepreneurship, from concept to first rounds of funding; and the phases and partners that make up the life cycle of a biotechnology company. ¨Claus per Bioemprendre¨ 8th edition will take place in three sessions held on May 15, 22 and 29, 2018. The deadline for registration is May 11.

Second session: The first steps: from the idea to the first rounds of financing

When is a good time to embark on an adventure? When can a scientific idea become a business? How do you plan a successful strategy? How to approach the first rounds of funding? How to move forward in the first few years? Participants will find answers to these questions with three entrepreneurs who know first hand the initial stages of a startup.
