EIC VentureMatch Pitching: Health Biotech at BIO-E
Pitch your health biotech innovation to Europe's leading investors in Cologne.
What it is
EIC VentureMatch Pitching on Health Biotech gives EIC-supported health biotech companies the chance to pitch to leading investors at BIO-Europe in Cologne on Tuesday 10 November.
A panel of investor jury members will select the companies that pitch. If you're selected, you'll receive one-to-one online coaching in late October or early November to strengthen your pitch and investment story. On the day, you'll pitch, join targeted matchmaking and one-to-one investor meetings, and meet fellow European health biotech startups. The investor panel includes NRW.BANK, LifeArc Ventures, DeepTech & Climate Fonds, Apollo Health Ventures, Forbion, Bayern Kapital and M Ventures.
Only apply if a co-founder or C-level representative can attend both the coaching session and the event day. The form doesn't send a confirmation email with your answers, so save a copy before you submit.
