Building a successful company in the life sciences is rarely a linear path. It is a journey defined by pivotal decisions, unexpected hurdles, and a constant need to adapt. In this session, moderated by Max Luijkx of AXON Lawyers, we explore the reality of navigating the industry and the dedication required to move a start-up forward.

We are joined by Bart Sanders (CEO of STENTiT) and Jeroen van den Hout (LivAssured B.V.), who will share the candid stories behind their growth. The discussion will focus on their personal experiences—highlighting key milestones reached, the lessons learned through overcoming challenges, and practical advice for fellow founders navigating the same path.

This session is designed to inspire early-stage start-ups by providing a transparent look at the turning points that shape a company. Join us for an open conversation on the grit and strategy required to stay focused on the mission of bringing medical innovation to patients.
