DATA stands for Data-driven Advanced Therapeutics Accelerator. It’s a three-month accelerator programme focussed on the exciting intersection between data analytics and drug discovery. Training and mentoring are provided for biotech start-ups to help them develop ideas, build momentum and give them the skills to move to the next phase. The DATA accelerator programme is the first of its kind to bring together AI and drug discovery in a focussed programme.

The 15 companies which have taken part in the DATA accelerator are looking forward to pitching to investors on the demo day.

Agenda:

1:00-1:10pm:10 min introduction from Dr Sally Ann Forsyth OBE, Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst CEO

1:10-2:30pm: 15 x 5 minute fire-pitches.

2:30-onward: Online networking using the Remo platform - https://live.remo.co/e/data-accelerator-demo-day
