12.30 The Perfect Pitch: Biotech Investment Challenge
In this innovative session, 6 Biotechs all focused on different therapeutic areas, will be given the opportunity to present their “perfect pitch” to our audience of potential partners and investors as well as to our panel of experts. Each Biotech will give a 10 minute company presentation highlighting their current projects. Then our panellists, consisting of big Pharma, VCs and Investment Banks will give their feedback on the strengths of the pitches just heard- highlighting the portions of the presentations that piqued their interest. This will not only give the presenting companies the platform to attract new partners, but will also give the presenting companies, and audience alike, insight into what sparks the interest of potential partners and investors. This session is a must attend for Pharma, Biotechs, and the investment community. The panellists will then have a chance to confer and choose “the perfect pitch” which will be presented a BioBusiness Network Award
