HEY, START ME UP! 13 Feb 2018

This event addresses to start uppers desiring to develop their bright future activity, to investors looking for new operations and to each newly European actor in industrial biotechnology.
The program will present a European panorama of biotech innovation structures & financial assistance for newly formed start-ups.
