Teams from the US and Canada will be selected to attend a three-day workshop held in the UK. The workshop will include presentations from leading figures in the UK biotech industry on intellectual property, international funding and investment, financial planning, commercial and marketing strategies and an evaluation of market potential. There also will be a mentoring session from industry experts to help the teams generate their business plans. Each team will then devise a business plan for their imaginary biotech start-up company (can be based on hypothetical or actual science.) The winning team from North America will receive $1,000.
