Empowering European Life Science Founders as Leaders

From Science to Success:

Europe’s Life Science Challenge:

Translating research into scalable commercial success

“Europe’s scientific publications are 2x those of the U.S. and 3x of China, yet struggles in translation and execution persist.”

— McKinsey & Company, 2023

The European Founder Conundrum:

Inexperienced leaders are expected to build complex ventures without the necessary entrepreneurial support

Founders face multiple hurdles:

  • Scattered network of sub-scale innovation hubs

  • Mindset, risk aversion and limited talent pool of experienced venture builders

  • Lack of mentor, peer, and capital support

nextGEN - A Catalyst for Change:

To succeed, founders must expand their horizons beyond the confines of their local ecosystem

nextGEN leverages the experience and breadth of the LifeScience ORG CEO community to support early-stage founders systematically and at scale.
