Experience the Future of Life Sciences Up Close
Life Sciences are transforming our world – from biotechnology and drug development to diagnostics and MedTech, as well as Digital Health, AgBioTech and sustainable solutions. At the 4th Startup Market BioTech, LifeScience & Health, taking place on September 9, 2026, at the Life Science Center Düsseldorf, tomorrow’s innovators will meet investors, corporates, business angels, industry experts, researchers and aspiring founders.
The exhibiting startups showcase how scientific insights, new technologies and entrepreneurial ideas can be transformed into tangible business models. The Market offers insights into different paths to founding and growing a company – while providing inspiration, practical experience and valuable connections that can be directly applied to your own idea and next steps.
The event brings together the best of a trade fair, conference and pitch event: Discover innovative startups, connect with founders and hear first-hand what works, where the challenges lie and which decisions matter most on the journey from an idea to a successful business.
For founders and aspiring entrepreneurs in particular, the Market offers an opportunity to broaden their perspective, challenge their business models and build valuable connections for the next stage of their journey. Whether you are at the idea stage, currently founding a company or already running an established startup: Direct exchange with fellow founders, investors, companies and experts can provide fresh impetus and open doors to collaborations, pilot projects, funding and technology transfer.
Look forward to startup pitches, inspiring talks and personal conversations with people actively shaping BioTech, Life Sciences and Health. During the fireside talk “The First 1,000 Days – Between Plan and Reality?”, founders will share their experiences from the early stages of building a company – openly, practically and with a focus on the lessons others can apply to their own journey.
Where new ideas meet experience, expertise and the right connections, new opportunities for the next step emerge.
