TESTIMONIALS

Our academic and industry partners tell us what excites them about the programme:

Olivier Daubry

CEO & Director of AsiaBioNext (Singapur)

"This truly unique programme covers all key competencies necessary to drive the different stages of a Biotech or MedTech venture in a successful way.

There is a great, unmet need for talented individuals combining these competencies with a passion for life sciences and therapeutic innovation."

Fiona Du Monceau

COO of Exevir Bio

"Great opportunity to learn along peers with an entrepreneurial mind-set and expand your knowledge and understanding of the different elements required to build and grow a successful company.

A great step to accelerate your career and make a difference in the thriving Benelux Biotech & MedTech ecosystem."

Alain Parthoens

Founder & Managing Partner of Newton Biocapital

"Like many other industry people supporting the programme, I am pleased with this opportunity to share my 40 years of experience and expertise in life sciences with the students.

The insider perspectives and ‘lessons learned’ we share, will help them in making the right decisions throughout their careers."

Paul Van Dun

Director Technology Transfer

"I’m impressed by both the scope and the depth of the curriculum.

What the students will learn in this intensive one-year programme would otherwise take years of on-the-job training, giving them a significant head-start in their careers.

I only wish such an Advanced Master existed when I started my career some 30 years ago."

Michel Lussier

Co-Founder & Chairman of the Board of Directors of Celyad Oncology SA (Canada)

"It is well known that Belgian Biotech, MedTech and Digital Health are flourishing. Private and public capital funding is more and more present. We unfortunately suffer cruelly
from a lack of well-trained entrepreneurs.

This is why the AMP brings a very important, modern and effective solution to strengthen our Belgian ecosystem toward a leadership position in Europe."

I3h Institute

"The I3h Institute is very pleased to contribute to this unique programme targeted towards the

next generation of healthcare professionals, building on its expertise in Interdisciplinary Healthcare Innovation training."
