Pitch Competition: Building a Biotech Venture Program – Medicine by Design

On March 27, join Medicine by Design in-person for the Building a Biotech Venture Pitch Competition to learn how the next generation of regenerative and precision medicine researchers are preparing to translate their discoveries toward impact.

Watch as six trainee-led teams from the University of Toronto and its affiliated hospitals pitch their ventures to an expert panel of judges. The winning team will receive $25,000, and the second-place team will receive $10,000 in research funding to advance their product concept.

The competition is the culmination of Medicine by Design’s Building a Biotech Venture program, offered in partnership with the Precision Medicine Initiative (PRiME), Health Innovation Hub (H2i) and Talk Boutique. Over the past several months, teams have worked with mentors to advance early-stage company concepts based on their research and have participated in a series of workshops to develop their business cases.

Come cheer on these up-and-coming entrepreneurs as they showcase their innovative technologies.
