Our team attended the Berlin Startup Conference 2024 yesterday, and I would like to extend my gratitude to all the organisers and participants for a great event! 🚀 The conference's broader focus provided a fascinating opportunity to observe the stark contrasts between biotech and pure IT startups. In the biotech realm, we often grapple with significantly longer R&D cycles, stringent regulatory hurdles, and substantially higher capital requirements. One of the most striking differences, in my opinion, is that IT startups frequently experience swift revenue materialisation. Their digital products seamlessly reach users, with monetisation following in quick succession — a pace that can undoubtedly evoke a tinge of envy among biotech entrepreneurs. 🙄 Yet, this disparity raises an intriguing question: What valuable lessons can we, as biotech startups, glean from the lightning-fast evolution and agility of the IT world? How can we infuse our domain with the scalability, innovation, and dynamism that IT startups thrive on while navigating our unique challenges? In our company, we are trying to leverage the full spectrum of advantages that AI offers, but are there alternative approaches we might be overlooking? 🤔 Share your thoughts! Does anyone have any fresh insights on this? #Biotech #IT #Innovation #BerlinStartupConference2024
