BioRiver Boost! is a competition for start-up projects and very early-stage start-ups to present themselves to the industry, which has been organised once a year since 2004 by the industry association BioRiver -Life Science im Rheinland e.V..
These companies and investors make up our 2024 jury: JohnsonJohnson, BAYERPharma, BAYERCropScience, Qiagen, Miltenyi Biotec, LONZA, UCB, NRW.Bank and High-Tech Gründerfonds.
The three best start-ups from all areas of life sciences will receive the BioRiver Boost! award. They also receive customised coaching from experienced managers, professional marketing support and a one-year free membership in BioRiver e.V.
Approx. 2 years before to approx. 2 years after the start-up: in this phase, young companies particularly benefit from participating in BioRiver Boost! This means that scientific start-up projects are also invited to apply.
Founders are invited to apply via the online form from now until 26 August 2024. After the deadline, the jury will select the best 8 applications as finalists. The finalists will be invited to professional pitch training in Düsseldorf to prepare for the presentation.
27 September is the day of the decision. All finalists present themselves with an 8-minute pitch and then answer questions from the jury and the expert audience. The jury meeting will take place on the same day, where the winners will be chosen. The award ceremony for the winners is the festive conclusion of the day.
This year, the jury is particularly calling for applications from start-up projects in the fields of immunology, neurology and oncology.
