Overview
About BioSTART BioSTART is a new Program by BioInnovation Greece aimed at supporting early-stage biotech innovation emerging from academic labs in Greece. The program seeks to provide proof-of-concept funding, entrepreneurial training, and access to industry and investment networks, bridging the gap between research and real-world application. Goals of this strategy meeting This strategy meeting is convened to collaboratively shape the launch and strategic direction of the BioSTART Program. Specifically, today's goals are to: Present the core vision, framework, and objectives of BioSTART. Gather expert input and feedback on the program’s design, with a focus on key implementation pillars. Identify structural gaps, priority needs, and potential contributions from stakeholders across sectors. Co-develop actionable ideas for proof-of-concept support, IP strategy, talent development, and sustainable funding models. Strengthen alignment among key partners from academia, industry, government, and investment communities as we prepare for the program’s formal launch.
