🌟 #Finance Day Leipzig 2024 – Ein Event voller Insights und Innovationen! 🌟 Am vergangenen Donnerstag, den 24. Oktober, nahm BioRiver durch die Geschäftsführerin Dr. Frauke Hangen wir am Finance Day #Leipzig 2024 teil – ein spannendes und wertvolles Event für Investoren, UnternehmerInnen und Innovationsbegeisterte, das aktuelle Trends in der #Finanzierung von #LifeSciences-Innovationen in den Fokus rückte. 💡 Ein echtes Highlight war die Podiumsdiskussion zu #VentureCapital und Innovationsfinanzierung, in der zentrale Aspekte wie die Rolle von #CorporateVentureCapital im Life Sciences-Sektor und die Herausforderungen des „Valley of Death“ beleuchtet wurden. Besonders inspirierend: Die Vorstellung neuer Finanzierungsinstrumente für Sachsen und der starke Innovationsdrang in der Region Leipzig. Einige der Firmen im Zukunftscluster Saxocell bauen die Brücke zum Rheinland: Miltenyi Biotec Lonza BioThrust. 🔁 Ein weiteres spannendes Panel widmete sich dem Thema IPO und Stock Exchange Listing. Hier gaben Experten wertvolle Einblicke in die Auswirkungen eines Börsengangs auf die Unternehmenskultur und betonten, dass ein IPO das gesamte Team mit neuen Herausforderungen – bis hin zu Gesprächen an der Kaffeemaschine – konfrontiert. Auch wenn Leipzig und Sachsen sich exzellent als Innovationsstandorte präsentierten, blieb ein Wermutstropfen: Die Anzahl der Investoren vor Ort war begrenzt, insbesondere für mittelgroße Investitionen. 👉 Der Konferenztag fand seinen Abschluss in einem exklusiven Dinner mit entspannten Gesprächen und einem inspirierenden Vortrag zum Thema Open Source KI für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der EU, der das Publikum begeisterte und neue Denkanstöße lieferte. ⬆ Die Teilnahme am Finance Day Leipzig bot wertvolle Einblicke in aktuelle Trends der Innovationsfinanzierung, spannende Kontakte und anregende Diskussionen. Ein Format, das wir uns auch im Rheinland gut vorstellen können – vielleicht bringen wir das Team von Going Public schon bald nach Köln! 💼 Danke an Karin Hofelich Urs Moesenfechtel GoingPublic Media AG #bioriver #biotech #lifesciences #startups #rhineland #wesupport
