• Be able to effectively communicate their vision to various audiences.

 This workshop is targeted for the following participants:’

• Scientists, researchers and other related professionals who want to obtain the tools necessary to commercialise their technology and launch a new business.
• Students, graduates and academics considering their own venture.
• Existing biotechnology start-ups/ new ventures that are seeking to commercialise a new product or service.

To maximise the return on investment made for the workshop, a pre- and post-workshop assessment may be conducted:

• Pre-Work and Entrepreneurship Profiling
  
  Pre-work refers to the preparatory reading and assignment that the participants will undertake prior to attending the workshop. This will enable the participants to prepare for an intensive learning experience and identify key issues to be addressed during the workshop. The participants are also expected to prepare to bring a business idea to work on during the workshop.
  Entrepreneurship Profiling attempts to determine the participants’ current level of competency in terms of business skills as well as to identify their entrepreneurial aptitude. The profiles will be used by BiotechCorp to plan for the development of the participants as well as to customise the content of the workshop.

• Post-Program Assessment/ The Elevator Pitch
  
  At the end of the workshop, each participant will be required to provide a brief overview of an idea for a product, service, or project that they have.
  
  The participants will be given an opportunity to pitch an idea to a panel of invited guest from both the industry and investment community to assess the quality of their ideas and advise them on areas that they may need to improve on in order to enhance their business proposition.
