Expert resources to help you resolve key startup issues
Business Forum gathers all the expertise you need in one place to focus on your company’s specific challenges.

Business Forum is:
- A condensed business coaching forum where expert coaches meet to assess the problems of a specific company. The company presents its challenges/current situation at that forum.
- All experts have deep knowledge and experience from different aspects of life science and give valuable feedback by assessing the situation and suggesting solutions/action points.
- Regular Business Forum meetings have several outcomes including helping companies facing a particular challenge, checking on how things are going for each startup, and attempting to foresee and prevent any future problems.
- Our experts share their network as well as their expertise.
