Do you manage a company that innovates in the field of biotechnology? 
Are you looking for funding? 

Gene.iO speeds up your fundraising process 

Gene.iO is a one-year program at the cutting edge of biotech expertise, to help you succeed in your first fundraising or commercial agreement. Gene.iO broadens your perspectives, guides your scaling strategy and opens the door to your primary market.
 
Gene.iO is a bio-innovation acceleration programme that adapts to YOUR start-up to make a successful transition from technology to financing.
 
Both personalised (360° audit, individual mentoring, choice of packs, etc.) and collective to generate mutual support and collaboration. Gene.iO also combines organisation and agility: a roadmap is drawn up at the beginning of the programme based on the audit of your company, which allows you to plan your development roadmap.

Gene.iO's support also allows you to pivot your initial project during the course of the programme, in the event of an opportunity identified while presenting your innovation to the stakeholders of a primary market.
