We recently hosted a 2-day session, that focused on the vital role of philanthropic and investment capital from family offices and foundations in advancing medical research and healthcare innovation. The event brought together clinician-scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, along with founders and foundations, who shared their journeys and motivations. They offered practical insights on deploying capital to support impactful life science innovation in Asia. Thank you to all our speakers and participants for making this event a success!

We are proud to have played a key role in the creation of SAFE 2.0, the updated version of the Italian SAFE agreement, that was officially presented today. Following a similar initiative we shaped in the UK, SAFE 2.0 enables founders to raise capital while deferring valuation and investor entry until a later stage. We're thrilled to drive innovation in Italy's growing tech hub, as we see investment increasingly pour into its vibrant ecosystem.
