Turn scientific discoveries into licensing and collaboration opportunities

Home » Turn scientific discoveries into licensing and collaboration opportunities

Are you looking for industry partners to help advance an early-stage technology? Do you need market feedback to assess its potential, define the next development milestones or strengthen its value proposition? Are you seeking licensees, R&D collaborators or investors to support a spin-off emerging from your institution?

BioFIT connects universities, research organisations, hospitals and technology transfer offices with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, investors and other innovation partners across human and animal health. Whether you are promoting a portfolio of technologies, preparing an asset for licensing or supporting a newly created spin-off, BioFIT helps you start the conversations that can move promising research towards its next stage.

How can BioFIT help you advance your technologies?

Put promising research in front of potential partners

Apply for the Research & Licensing Partnerships for a chance to show more than a technology description: present the unmet need, available evidence, intellectual property position, TRL and preferred transfer or collaboration route.
Selected projects can pitch on stage and display a poster.

Connect with industry at an early stage

Meet external innovation, R&D and business development teams looking for emerging science, novel technologies and new collaboration opportunities.

Present your institution’s expertise and discuss potential research collaborations, co-development projects or licensing agreements directly with decision-makers involved in sourcing external innovation.

Support the development of your spin-offs

Introduce spin-offs from your institution to investors and potential corporate partners who can contribute funding, industry expertise, development capabilities or strategic connections. BioFIT provides an opportunity to test their positioning, understand partner expectations and build relationships that can support their next milestones.

Strengthen your technology transfer strategy

Attend conference sessions addressing R&D collaborations, licensing strategies, investment and the translation of scientific excellence into competitive innovation.

Give your innovation portfolio greater visibility

Create a central meeting point for your institution through an exhibition space. Showcase selected technologies, scientific expertise and spin-offs while giving potential partners a clear point of contact to explore your portfolio and discuss future collaborations.

Where scientific potential meets the partners who can advance it

Moving research towards the market rarely follows a single route. Some technologies require further validation, others need an industrial collaborator, a licensing partner or the creation of a dedicated company.

BioFIT brings together the stakeholders who can help you evaluate these options, challenge your assumptions and turn scientific assets into concrete development, collaboration and licensing opportunities.
