Entering the US and Insights in the Boston Life Science & Tech Ecosystem

The EuroIncNet partners decided to join forces and organize a webinar for their portfolio companies to provide more and first insights in the US and Boston Market.

Boston has a very rich research technology environment – made up of many academic research institutes (Harvard, MIT, Mass General Hospital, Boston University, Tufts etc.) as well as companies – large and small.

There is considerable collaboration as well as deep business relationships between all these groups. And the final part of the puzzle are the investors who fund the research and development work.

In this overview of the area we will describe the many large pharmaceutical and IT companies that have research centers here, the start-up community, and the wide variety of investors and how they work together to create the most innovative region in the US. This is a community that interacts globally with companies– part of the program will explain how best to find and engage with stakeholders in the region.

WHEN - October 21, 2020 from 15:00-17:30

WHERE - online via zoom meeting (details will be shared after registration)
