With Berlin emerging as a life sciences hotspot in Germany, it is in our interest to strengthen its ties with Boston, the leading life sciences hub in the US. Join us for our "Life Sciences Symposium: Invest in Berlin," which aims to connect the (startup) ecosystems in Berlin and Boston by providing a comprehensive overview of the life science landscape in both cities, sharing best practices, and fostering knowledge exchange between experts, startup accelerators, investors, and relevant institutions.

We are excited to announce that the event will be held at MassChallenge Boston, headquarters of global startup accelerator MassChallenge with more than a decade of experience accelerating startups, industry and innovation ecosystems.
