NGI calls for proposals Venture Challenge
19 Jan 2012
The Netherlands Genomics Initiative (NGI) calls for proposals for their Venture Challenge Spring 2012. Deadline for submission: March 6th.
The Venture Challenge is one of NGI’s activities aimed at stimulating and supporting Life Sciences (including bioinformatics!) researchers in translating their inventions into viable business ideas.
The Venture Challenge is an opportunity for all aspiring Life Sciences entrepreneurs, it is the way to receive coaching and advice on essential elements of setting up a business.It is also good preparation for the next stage: acquiring financing, such as the Life Sciences Pre-Seed Grant. In two 3-day workshops, the facilitators and other ‘competing’ teams will challenge you to focus your business idea to create optimal customer value, and you will learn to pitch your business case.
At the end of the Challenge, the team with the best venture plan and pitch is awarded €25,000.
For more information and the proposal form visit the NGI Venture Challenge website.
