Investing in life science: From seed to success

On September 12, BioStock together with Vator Securities will host an investment focused event at the World Trade Center Stockholm, covering the various capital needs in a life science company’s life cycle, as well as highlighting the demands and expectations from investors who provide the funds.

From early-stage investments, where business angels and seed investors drive medical breakthroughs, to growth-stage investments empowering promising ventures to become ready for partnering and/or fueling market expansion and later-stage strategic investments accelerating growth and facilitating a global market presence. The “Investing in life science: From seed to success” event caters to life science companies in all development stages, who will gain insight from investors in the various life cycle stages, as well as giving investors a chance to pick the brains of peers, engage in thought-provoking discussions and meet life science companies in early-to-commercial stages. Further details will be presented shortly. Until then, make sure to save the date and mark September 12 in your calendar. Or even better: sign up today to secure your spot!
