Bio-based materials for a sustainable industry of the 21st century
Haus der Wirtschaft · Stuttgart
29 April 2014

The STERN-Forum “Innovation and Biomaterials” serves as a pathfinder for entrepreneurs and researchers in order to establish upcoming business contacts and collaborations. The event, which will be held in English, is organised in the context of the two EU-projects, nameley Biomat-IN and IN2LifeSciences. This will afford you the opportunity to engage with regional biotechnology, medical technology and other life sciences companies.
Interspersed between the plenary sessions entrepreneurs from all partner regions of the Biomat-IN and IN2LifeSciences projects will have the chance to present their own company in a short pitching session where they can introduce their technology solutions through an offer or their technology needs through a request.
In the plenary lectures, three speakers examined the topic of “Innovation and Biomaterials” from different perspectives. For the entrepreneurial part, Dr. Sascha Peters was invited to explain ways in which, in addition to technological innovation, the early application development necessary for market success can be ensured.
