The “Startup Breakfast”, a monthly seminar, held at the Institut Pasteur, is designed to introduce you to the various aspects of creating and developing life science companies, and the associated challenges.
Eight sessions will be organized throughout the academic year 2024-2025 on a specific theme presented by an external expert. These friendly, informal meetings will enable you to interact easily with the speaker. They will be followed by a “networking” where you will be able to exchange ideas amongst yourselves and with startup alumni who will be able to share their experience.
Finally, these 8 “Startup Breakfast” sessions will give you an overview of the life of a startup, culminating in the annual “Start-me Up” event in July 3 and 4, 2025.
