The Entrepreneurial Life Science Accelerator ELSA helps life science start-ups shape their business ideas to make them viable and propel them to the next level in the shortest possible time. As a continuation of the former AHEAD Life Science Track, the program is conducted by the Life Science Factory in collaboration with our partner Fraunhofer, Helmholtz Munich and H3 Health Hub. Selected life science start-ups receive free support in a condensed period of 3×2 days, focusing on technology, market and customer understanding, as well as strategy and investor outreach.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The accelerator program emphasizes individual coaching sessions with experts on specific topics such as financing models, intellectual property (IP), or pitch training. Through interactions among themselves and with our coaches, start-ups are empowered to advance their projects intensively. The program concludes with a pitch event<\/a> in front of an expert and investor jury, as well as a wide audience. All components of our program are conducted in English.<\/p>\n
