All aboard the Global Investor Forum
Whether you are a company looking for investors, an investor looking for opportunities, or just want to know everything about the life sciences sector in the Netherlands, don’t miss this boat!
The Global Investor Forum in collaboration with Invest in Holland welcomes you aboard the historic Clipper Stad Amsterdam on 17 April, docked at the Fan Pier Boston.
The Netherlands has a world-leading life sciences and health ecosystem. This innovative community has produced many new biotech companies in recent years and offers an excellent foothold for US companies wanting to expand into Europe. The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) relocation to the Netherlands will boost the life sciences ecosystem even further.
The Global Investor Forum creates a powerful network of leading biomed entrepreneurs, formal and informal investors, key medical opinion leaders and company executives for enabling the next steps of biomed and Healthcare ventures. The forum provides an excellent opportunity to meet each other, learn from real-life business cases and form connections. The programme will conclude with a networking reception in an exclusive setting. So, trim your sails, know your ropes and take full advantage of the wind in the sails of the life sciences sector in the Netherlands.
The clipper has a maximum capacity, so space is limited. Secure your seat as soon as possible.
