Be inspired by two pioneers in life sciences who made the leap from science to entrepreneurship. Moderator Simone Hermans will guide this interactive session where Eric van der Veer and Scott Webster share not only their scientific and business journeys, but also their personal motivations, challenges, and lessons learned. Following their presentations, there will be ample time for Q&A, covering topics such as what drives someone to become an entrepreneur, how to build a strong team, how to deal with constant uncertainty, and what advice they would give to those considering launching their own life sciences company. This session is designed for researchers, early-stage entrepreneurs, and anyone with entrepreneurial ambitions in biotech.
