​Why Boston x Berlin?

​Boston and Berlin are among the world’s leading life sciences hubs - but both face unmet needs when it comes to connecting fragmented communities and translating innovation across borders.

• ​Boston: the global biotech powerhouse, increasingly looking outward for new sources of talent, technologies, and partnerships.

• ​Berlin: fast-growing and diverse, with emerging strength in biotech, digital health, and AI — yet still lacking international investors, commercialization pathways, and translational expertise.

​Our Goal

​To catalyze collaboration between Boston and Berlin — unlocking access to talent, capital, and partnerships at the convergence of life sciences, AI, and longevity.

​Shared Opportunity: Longevity x AI

​The intersection of longevity and AI offers a powerful chance to accelerate drug discovery, build reliable biomarkers of aging, and advance digital health solutions.
