At 7 April 2016 the “Bio-based Start-up Day” will take place for the first time in Cologne (DE).

At the same time, investors will provide insights into their work with start-ups of the bio-based and biotechnology industry and elaborate on their motivation to work with start-ups. Anindya Mukherjee from i2i (DE/USA), specialised on advising young companies from the industrial biotechnology, plastic and chemical industries, will give valuable tips on how to successfully launch a company. nova-Institute (DE) will report on the state of European markets and present smart investment calculations for the initial phase of a project.

Frank Göbel, one of the leading European biotechnology companies, will report on their way from start-up to recent stock market launch.
The breaks will promote effective networking between start-ups and industry and finance experts. The “Bio-based Start-up Day” provides great networking opportunities all day long. Registered participants can reserve a free exhibition booth to present their products directly at the event.
