Start-Up Stadium
Start-Up Stadium is designed to provide start-up companies with the opportunity to engage key members of the investment community, venture philanthropy groups, strategic partners, and non-dilutive capital at the world’s largest biotechnology partnering event.
During BIO Digital Week 2021, cutting-edge start-ups from around the world will share a quick pitch on the BIO Innovation Stage showcasing new technologies and therapeutic solutions to a panel of investor judges, followed by live interactive networking.
Applications are due by April 2.
How Does it Work?
- For BIO Digital 2021, stakeholder judges across the biotechnology landscape will view start-up presentations in the new Innovation Stage and engage in Q&A/feedback with the finalists.
- After the event, BIO will collect feedback from start-ups and judges, announce winners, and analyze the increased engagement between stakeholders and early-stage communities.
- In late July 2021, BIO will follow up with finalists for product and investment status and to share our finalists’ success.
