FOR YOU?

The REBBLS Primer is not the first life science start up academy in Copenhagen. However, it is the first that puts the main focus on researchers & innovators without prior start-up or business experience that are interested in bringing their research and ideas from the lab to the market. 

 

You might already have an idea for a start-up, or you just want to find out what it takes to build one – the REBBLS Primer is your way to get started.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

The REBBLS Start-Up Academy will cover all aspects a budding entrepreneur needs to know to get started with their own start-up. Through lectures and interactive cases, you will gain the skill set to tackle the steps along the road to being an entrepreneur.  

Additionally, you will be introduced to various players and locations relevant to the Danish start-up ecosystem, through workshops, event hosting and networking.

PARTNERS

REBBLS was established in 2012 to bring the Danish life science and entrepreneurial community together by hosting a number of networking events and matchmaking activities. It is a volunteer-run non-profit organization with an international network of members, that mainly meet in Copenhagen

As REBBLS (Rising Entrepreneurs in BioBusiness and Life Sciences) and CPHLabs, we know that there is plenty of amazing science that does not make it to the market. While many researchers know that their research has commercial potential, very few know how to bring life science innovation from lab to market. To fill this gap, we decided to organize the REBBLS Primer, our very own Start-Up Academy. This would not be possible without great support from our partners!

CPHlabs is an organization that creates laboratory workspaces for scientists and research teams and startups. They provide lab space, quality equipment, and expert guidance, to enable you to build and test your next great biotech idea!
