Start-up Festival

Please note: The Start-up Festival is intended for the leadership of early-stage companies* to learn from each other and from invited thought leaders in the sector. In order to ensure a critical mass of start-up entrepreneurs, we are limiting numbers of service providers, beyond those sponsoring and supporting the event.

*We define emerging companies as those in the early stages of developing therapeutics, diagnostics or biological platforms. We don't include consultants, trainers and other service providers in this category, even if they are at an early stage.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO

We take photographs at all of our events and occasionally record videos. Photos and videos are often used for marketing purposes (e.g.: on LinkedIn, direct marketing emails, etc). If you do not wish for photos or a video of you to be made public, please let us know by emailing [email protected]

DELEGATE LIST

At many of our events, we distribute delegates lists to attendees. These lists consist of the full name and company name of all registered attendees, but do not include contact details such as email addresses. We don’t allow third parties to use these lists for promotional purposes without your express consent. If you don’t want to be on the delegate list for an event, please let us know by emailing [email protected]

The data that the BIA will collect from you will be treated in accordance with the above and with our privacy statement. This is necessary in order for you to be able to join the event and is, therefore, a precondition of service
