Life Science Stage10:45 - 11:30
With a Ph.d. in bioinformatics and microbiology and >1.000 teaching hours over the past 15 years, combined with 7 years working within the ecosystem on Funen, within multiple different companies and in Life Science Fyn, talking with stakeholders and companies, I have a somewhat okay feeling of the mindset within the different parts of the ecosystem. Knowledge I use on a daily basis to mediate and facilitate collaborations and support.
The Funen life science ecosystem is in the early years of activating and unlocking the significant potential present within. It’s an ecosystem where anyone within the industry, government or academia are never more than 1 link away, where there are few words between collaboration and implementation.
On this day we will take advantage of the heaps of local, national, and international knowledge present at the summit. Join us in developing the first version of the “Life Science Funen Playbook”, a playbook for startups and stakeholders, where we explore the vast opportunities, and couple it with the massive crowd-experience available at the multi-stage summit. Yours included.
Team-Based Learning: Solving Real Startup Challenges Together
Over three interactive, case-based sessions, we’ll tackle the most critical early-stage dilemmas facing life science startups, not through theory, but by working through real scenarios as a team. You’ll step into the shoes of founders, investors, and leaders, analyzing actual cases to uncover what works, and what doesn’t, when building a high-performing team.
Each session is designed to spark debate, challenge assumptions, and leave you with actionable insights you can apply immediately. Expect lively debate, hard-won insights, and a fresh perspective on what makes (or breaks) early-stage teams.
All insights gained will become part of the playbook. This year we’re discovering three themes:
The First Team: Why Culture Eats Skills for Breakfast
The Founder’s Dilemma: Can You Sell What You Love?
The Startup Paradox: When Passion Becomes the Problem
