We understand the challenges emerging biotech companies face in the quest to push the next generation of drugs to market. This is why we’ve developed several programs that recognize stand-out emerging biotech companies.
Merck recently sponsored the Startup Battle at Labiotech Refresh in Berlin. The Startup Battle is a unique occasion for Biotech Startups to show the world their awesome ideas as they pitch in front of the best audience the European Biotech has to offer. It has become a “classic” at Labiotech Refresh.
Startup Battle contestants were asked to present their work in a 5-minute pitch, followed by 10 minutes of questions from the audience and the judges. This year, there were two separate startup battles, one for the “young and wild” early-stage startups, and one for the companies that are a bit more developed. Learn more about the contestants and see who won this year’s Startup Battle!
