​Biotech Venture Creation: Scaling Concept to Company

​Singapore's biotech ecosystem is growing rapidly, but transforming a promising scientific concept into a successful venture remains one of the most challenging journeys for founders. From securing early funding and building a team to navigating clinical development, commercialization, and investor expectations, every stage of growth presents unique opportunities and obstacles.

​Join us for an insightful evening as founders and biotech leaders share their experiences scaling biotechnology ventures from concept to company. Through a fireside chat and panel discussion, our speakers will discuss the realities of fundraising, lessons learned at different stages of company growth, and what aspiring entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators can expect throughout the venture creation journey.

​Whether you are a scientist exploring commercialization, a student interested in biotech entrepreneurship, an investor, or an ecosystem stakeholder, this event offers a unique opportunity to gain practical insights and connect with Singapore's biotech community. Organised by Biotech Connection Singapore (BCS) in collaboration with Esco Aster, the event brings together founders, scientists, and investors to explore how biotechnology innovations can be translated into impactful companies and real-world solutions.
