It was a pleasure to host the 2nd Life Science Venture Capital Impact Day mid-April at Trill Impact offices in Stockholm. It was energizing to exchange views with leading European and US #venturecapital firms on the role of #Impactinvesting and #ESG in the early-stage life science companies. Here are my takeaways: - ESG reporting was challenged as a box-ticking exercise. How can we make it into the value adding tool it is intended to be? Collaboration between VC firms is ongoing, and I believe we will see the fruition of the work in the coming years - Impact Investing in Life Science has different definition for different VC funds and is evolving. By focusing on our common denominators, we will increase the opportunity to collaborate and tell the story of the impact we are creating together Silva Deželan, PhD, Merijn Klaassen, Robert Carroll, Beatriz Gandarias Calzada, Hannah Maunder, Roger Franklin, Noella de Bermingham, Kabeer Aziz,Patrik Sobocki (MSc, PhD), Anna Ljungdahl, Dr. Stephanie Mooij, Sarah Lafaye, Bobby Soni, Diana Torgersen, Hugues Bultot, Joachim Nahem, Eleanor Price, Dustin Zielinski, Ingrid Beyer, Linn Hege Aune, Ane Tolnes Haugdal, Johanneke Maenhout, Jan Ståhlberg, Nina Rawal,Niclas During, Ånirban Bhattachariya, PhD, MBA,
