Building Biotech Companies, Not Just Funding Them

Tue, Nov 10, 2026 · 1:00–1:45 PM CET Ecosystem Innovation Stage, Koelnmesse

About this session

Biotech company creation is evolving. Rather than simply financing promising science, a growing number of investors and operator-led platforms are actively building companies from the ground up, combining capital, translational expertise, operational infrastructure, and experienced leadership from day one. This session will examine the rise of these next-generation venture creation models and how they are reshaping the path from academic discovery to scalable biotech company.
