Tech x Bio Night

Powered by Wintercircus x VIB, supported by Biovia, Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen & Voka

Two Ghent giants are about to meet. At last. 💥

Tech x Bio Night: Different DNA, Same Ambition. Two Ghent ecosystems. One evening to learn everything from each other.

Ghent has two world-class ecosystems: biotech and tech. But do they talk to each other? Not nearly enough. On 27 October, VIB and Wintercircus are set to change that: Tech x Bio Night will bring together 400 tech and biotech professionals for CEO testimonials, funding insights, AI as a superbooster and focused networking.

Two worlds with different languages, different paces and different metrics, but with the same ambition: to make an impact that extends beyond their own sector. The similarities and differences between tech and biotech will be explicitly discussed.

This evening marks the starting point of a longer story about cross-pollination between two ecosystems that need each other more than they realise.

* This event will be held in English.
