OVERVIEW

Increasingly, policymakers, managers, entrepreneurs, and students are being exposed to a corporate mindset within Health and Life Sciences organizations. To operate effectively in this environment, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of financing structures and opportunities. A solid knowledge of financial concepts and business valuation is critically important in the Life Sciences & Health industry.


Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking funding for your start-up, a tech transfer officer, a business analyst, a consultant or policy advisor who needs to thoroughly evaluate business proposals and business cases, a PhD student or Post Doc looking to kick-start a career in finance, this in-depth crash course will increase your understanding and expand your knowledge as a non-financial on financing and valuating companies in Life Sciences & Health.

This course is organised by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Based upon real case studies within the Life Sciences & Health sector you will learn the ins and outs of the fundamentals of strategic financing, the theory and practice of valuation and practical aspects of incorporation. 

The course will be taught by a distinguished mix of finance professors and seasoned professionals from the Life Sciences industry. Participants will benefit from the expertise of investors, investment bankers, and successful company founders who bring real-world insights and firsthand experience in financing, growth strategies, and value creation within the sector.
