Participate in the NGI Venture Challenge Fall 2010

Thinking of starting up a company in Life Sciences? Got a great idea but not sure how to commercialise it? Then the Venture Challenge may be what you're looking for.

The Netherlands Genomics Initiative invites all Life Sciences researchers to participate in the NGI Venture Challenge Fall 2010. The Venture Challenge is a way to receive coaching and advice on essential elements of setting up a business for aspiring Life Sciences entrepreneurs. It is also preparation for the next stage: acquiring financing, such as the Life Sciences Pre-Seed Grant.

In two 3-day workshops, the facilitators and other ‘competing’ teams will challenge you to focus your business idea to create optimal customer value, and you will learn to pitch your business case. At the end of the Challenge, the team with the best venture plan and pitch is awarded €25,000. 

How to enter
Apply for the NGI Venture Challenge by filling in the Venture Proposal Form and send it to info@venturechallenge.nl before 8 September 2010, 12:00 hrs.

For additional information and an overview of the important dates, please check: www.venturechallenge.nl

The Venture Challenge is part of the LifeSciences@work start-up support programme powered by NGI.
