This programme provides a unique opportunity for participants to gain insights from industry experts from a variety of sectors, including Pharma, Drug Development, Biotech, Diagnostics, and Food & Nutrition. Featured guest speakers include Klaas Jan Wientjes, Maarten van Roosmalen, Herman Groen, and Tjitske Dijkstra, who shared their expertise and experiences.

In addition, the curriculum includes presentations by specialists in entrepreneurship, intellectual property rights, and startup funding.

Going beyond the traditional academic scope, IPIM provides participants with a deep understanding of private sector decision-making and the societal impact of biomedical research.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of both medical start-ups and larger companies striving to remain entrepreneurial and develop novel solutions for the market. Last year, companies such as QT Sense, CC Diagnostics, Sabiad, EV Biotech, and Cortalix contributed by sharing their real-world perspectives and challenges.
