LifeScience connections created
Early 2019 we helped AstraZeneca BioVentureHub to make connections in Phoenix.
AstraZeneca BioVentureHub is a unique initiative to help emerging companies to co-work and interact with an established big player in pharmaceuticals. By having access to AstraZeneca’s equipment and experts, the smaller companies can develop their solutions faster.
It’s like AirBnB for science: When AstraZeneca does not use their equipment, or when their personnel have downtime, they can be used by the BioVenture companies.
What’s in it for AstraZeneca? They help advance the Life Science field and also maximize their resources. Their experts get to hang out with creative, and innovative founders and work on many different projects.
