Welcome to Abbott’s Challenge Series! We’re excited to present three innovative challenges designed to inspire groundbreaking solutions in healthcare. Stay tuned as we unveil each challenge, with the first launching on 7 October 2024.
Start-ups Meet Pharma: take up the challenge
Start-ups Meet Pharma is a challenge-based matchmaking programme that bridges the gap between life science corporations and innovative health start-ups. The programme is the unique gateway to present your solution and explore potential partnerships, co-development prospects, and strategic alliances that can propel your startup to new heights.
Over the course of three months, a series of meetings and workshops with global pharma executives will be co-designed, tailored to the potential collaboration opportunities that each challenge brings. The programme is tailored to maximise value for both the corporations and start-ups involved, opening doors to co-development and growth.
Applications to this programme are now open. Don’t miss this opportunity and apply now!
