BIOTECH BUSINESS SEMINAR
September 17, Afternoon session

“PEOPLE WHO TURN BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES INTO DEALS”

Connect Estonia is organising a parallel session on biotech business development and networking.

The session will mainly target managers and employees of existing companies, but also researchers, students and tech transfer specialists.

The event will contain short lectures and a lot of Q&A and discussion around the key issue for startups: how to identify business opportunities and achieve sales in the life sciences markets.

The speakers will draw from their hands-on experience as managers and professional networkers. Their speeches are variations on a common theme:

  • building cross-border networks, especially to pharma
  • actively managing these networks
  • adapting one's organisation and strategies

    Some real-life examples will be followed by suggestions to the audience and a discussion.
