Conference Description

The Early-Stage Life Sciences Technology Conference VIII will showcase 20 life sciences technologies developed at the universities, research institutions, and hospitals of Massachusetts and recently formed Massachusetts companies to an audience of angel investors, venture capitalists and corporate investors.

Today’s presenters will describe to you a broad range of discoveries that could each make a significant difference in healthcare. We again feature a large number of presenting companies and researchers. The strength of our applicant pool represents the robustness of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Cluster. We are also featuring a few start-ups that have presented at this conference before as they have made significant progress in their technology and business strategy.

Presenters will include founders of new Massachusetts companies and faculty of Massachusetts institutions with technologies that could be the basis of a start-up or license.  The Forum is an opportunity for these companies and faculty to present to an audience of angel investors, venture capitalists and corporate investors.
