FOR CORPORATES

Corporations are the giant tanker and start-ups the speedboats? With a BioRiver membership, you promote life science specific innovations that advance your business development. You exchange ideas with internationally renowned scientists. In the BioRiver Board you will meet international opinion leaders in biotechnology from North Rhine-Westphalia. As a member of the BioRiver Boost! jury, you will have a direct view of start-up teams from all over Germany and Europe. With your support, we bring the life sciences into the future.

FOR SMES

Companies in biotechnology are subject to constant change. No sooner have they outgrown their infancy than the question of a sale arises. Few companies remain small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In the BioRiver you will meet entrepreneurs with whom you can exchange ideas at eye level. Together, you bring your issues to the attention of politicians. In addition to SMEs, BioRiver members include former spin-offs that are now subsidiaries of international parent companies. The BioBusinessDialog brings together the business leaders of all ventures. In the open network meeting, business and science present together. (LifeScience Net Meeting).

FOR SCIENCE

The life sciences sector has a special obligation to the general public. BioRiver therefore makes a special effort to engage science and industry in a stronger dialogue and to support technology transfer and start-up activities. Specifically, we provide a platform for scientists in events, offer events at the universities aimed at collaborations with industry, are available as experts for the needs of life science founders, and work closely with the start-up centers of the member universities.
