DESCRIPTION
How do you build a Life Science startup that is viable and scalable?

This Lean Innovation Workshop will bring you up to speed in thinking more
entrepreneurial and how to steer and grow your business, and more into how life
science-based ideas can be commercialized.

During two days, you will be exposed to and learn about how to build a life science
startup. The workshop format will be group-based, working on real life cases selected
specifically for this occasion. You will learn how to use entrepreneurial tools such as
Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, Ecosystem Pedal and Minimum
Viable Product Design.

The workshop will be led and facilitated by the globally renowned innovation coach Jerry
Engel (Prof. UC Berkeley, US) who has extensive experience in coaching and teaching
companies through business development and innovation processes. Recently prof. Engel
has been focusing more on Lean Innovation and Lean Start-Up and is one of few experts
who have translated these methods also to be used within life sciences.
