LifeSciences@Work is the national accelerator for high potential start-ups in Life Sciences and Medical Technologies.

Academics and innovators with entrepreneurial aspirations are invited to participate.

Starting up a company requires not only a good idea and lots of enthusiasm, but also involves often a long difficult development path with many hurdles. In life sciences taking an invention from the lab to the market typically takes 5 to 10 years and requires several tenths of millions of euros of investment. In case of a new drug, a new device or a new therapy this can even take as long as 15 years and cost up to millions of euros.

Working with us means: you start a successful company that will make a difference.
