In life sciences, this process is particularly complex because product decisions are closely linked to regulation, quality, reimbursement, manufacturing and commercialization. This session introduces the fundamentals of product development for life sciences entrepreneurs. Participants will learn how to move from scientific potential to a product concept that can be tested, developed and positioned in the market. The session uses practical examples to show how product development decisions influence strategy, funding needs, timelines and company growth. You will learn:

How to structure product development in life sciences

How to connect scientific feasibility with customer and market needs

Why regulatory, quality and manufacturing aspects must be considered early

How product choices affect funding, commercialization and scaling

Who should attend:Founders, scientists, product leaders, startup teams and professionals working on life sciences technologies, platforms, diagnostics, therapeutics, tools or services. Date: Monday, 2.11.Time: 16:00–18:00Participation: Free of charge, followed by networking ApéroLimited seats available – secure your place today!
