As part of London BioInnovation Week, join us for an interactive afternoon exploring what it takes to capture the attention of investors, partners and industry leaders.

Twelve emerging life science companies will take to the stage to deliver five-minute pitches before a panel of experienced industry experts, receiving live feedback and questions in real time. More than just a pitching session, Pitch & Learn offers a rare opportunity to hear the thinking behind the questions, challenges and opportunities that experts identify when evaluating a company.

For founders, it's an opportunity to test and refine their value proposition in front of people who regularly assess businesses and innovation opportunities. For attendees, it's a chance to gain a behind-the-scenes understanding of what makes a company stand out, the common pitfalls founders face and the questions investors and advisors ask when considering a new opportunity.

Whether you're building a company, looking for your next investment opportunity, or supporting the growth of the life sciences ecosystem, you'll leave with practical insights, new connections and a deeper understanding of what turns great science into a compelling business proposition.
