CRG Biobusiness School - 10th edition
5th to 9th May 2025

The Annual CRG BioBusiness School 2025 is a highly interactive, activity-driven learning process that takes scientists through a concentrated entrepreneurial immersion experience, aiming to instil an entrepreneurial mindset. It's designed to ignite the ability to convert lab ideas into business ones.

The core of the program takes participants through the venture building process in small groups of participants, supported by knowledge exchange with entrepreneurs and business experts. It culminates in a pitch event. The online interactive workshop provides valuable resources such as business templates, educational material, and a communication channel to capture and maximise the training outcome.

Participants benefits

You will benefit from building an entrepreneurial skillset that will give you the capacity and confidence to pinpoint the added commercial value of your research as well as to envision the creation of your own business. Independently of pursuance of the entrepreneurial path, the skills acquired throughout the course will confer participants with an advantage in the job market as these are greatly sought-after skills by the corporate, NGOs and public sector. The online format of the program widens the networking opportunities with national and international fellows, allowing you to establish bonds with other participants and invited speakers. Besides work, there will also be fun activities to keep the group stimulated and engaged.

Expectations from participants

The CRG BioBusiness School is a rewarding, exciting and intense program. We expect attendees to be fully engaged throughout the course, which includes 1 to 1.5 hours of additional knowledge dives in the evenings. There will also be an Innovation Knowledge Launchpad to be completed 2 weeks before the course starts.

Target audience

The workshop is tailored for researchers and management personnel working in life sciences.
