Evergreen’s George Davis, Executive Vice President of Strategic Advisory, is honored to be speaking at the 2024 Builds Bio+ 2024 Philadelphia Breakfast Forum on May 7, 2024.
Like many other markets from coast to coast, Philadelphia is looking to tackle a VC shortage to ensure the health and longevity of its life sciences ecosystem. Not only would an infusion of cash help unleash greater deal flow, but it would greatly help the area secure and retain life science and biotech organizations looking for market environments conducive to growth.
In today’s economic climate, life science and biotech firms are seeking out affordable markets ripe with funding opportunities that can take them through all growth stages. While public sector support will play an important role in backing life sciences growth, a holistic approach is needed to ignite a substantial deployment of capital.
The breakfast program will be discussing strategies to attract VC and angel investors and secure equity and capital that allow startups to mature and flourish in the Philadelphia region.
George will be speaking on the 9:45 panel on “A Deep Dive into What’s Attracting VCs and Investments with:
Sarajane Blair, General Manager at CIC Labs + Innovation Campus Philadelphia
Melina Blees, Business Operations & Strategy Director + Head of BioLabs Philadelphia
Jennifer Griffin, Partner, Mission BioCapital
Louis P Kassa, The Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center, Baruch S. Blumberg Institute, and Hepatitis B Foundation, Chief Executive Officer
