Sciencepreneurs Forum

Convening leading scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, start-ups, and policy makers to investigate how to improve the way science creates economic value for society

Welcome to the Sciencepreneurs Forum, where we connect innovators and decision makers at the intersection of Science and Entrepreneurship. Our forum serves as a catalyst for science-based start-ups, social innovation and technology projects. 

Disruptive technologies are introduced within the context of existing markets and policies. These innovations often arise at the intersection of diverse sectors, disciplines, and stakeholders. Consequently, numerous obstacles must be overcome to ensure sustainable progress. Our solution? A global forum that promotes knowledge exchange and responsible innovation, connecting sciencepreneurs, investors, policy makers, and researchers.

For Sciencepreneurs: Your role as a Sciencepreneur holds immense potential to introduce tangible solutions with significant global impact.

For Investors: Embark on a vital role in nurturing the ecosystem and fostering the growth of emerging sciencepreneurs.

For Policy Makers: Shape the political framework within which novel technologies operate, paving the way for ethical and effective progress.

For Researchers: Contribute your expertise to refine innovation policies and investments.

Our Mission:

  • Elevate science-based start-ups to unprecedented heights by dismantling structural barriers across all tiers.
  • Nourish and expand innovation ecosystems to their fullest capabilities.
