Benno Tieke has joined the EIC Scaling Club as the new Cardiovascular Therapies Group President! He brings a remarkable depth of experience in research and innovation leadership roles both in the corporate environment as well as in start-up investments, which is a unique and invaluable addition to the Club. "There's a lot of focus on university spin-outs and accelerators, and there are research grants left and right. There's a lot of initial help for start-ups to get established. This is all necessary to create a starting position but what happens after that? To be competitive in Europe, we need to grow larger companies, and those successful champions need to be nurtured. The Scaling Club has stepped in to do exactly that." As Group President, Benno is committed to using his experience from a large corporation to help scale-ups navigate the complexities of organizational growth while attempting to innovate and disrupt the healthcare industry.
