Why do you choose Boston as your business development destination?
From the destinations offered by venture leaders, we clearly fit Boston best. All our customers are in the domain of life science and Boston is a very active area in this field.
What do you want to achieve from the trip?
I hope to have a defined roadmap on how to launch our US business after the venture leaders event, including a better understanding of US laws and regulations relevant for our business. In addition, I hope to get more contacts to biotech companies and people in business development and financing. Finally, I see it also as a great networking opportunity with key people for our business such as the other participants who are in a similar situation as us, but hopefully also people from US startups, industry leaders and experts familiar of the Boston biotech and startup field.
Why is venture leaders Life Science really beneficial for your company?
Only the trip itself will tell which reasons made it really beneficial!
