Description (French)
Le programme LifeSciences BC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs 2021-2023 est la suite de ce programme qui a été initialement lancé en 2020. Ce programme réunit des cohortes annuelles d’au moins 10 PME de la Colombie-Britannique en phase de démarrage dans le secteur des sciences de la vie avec un entrepreneur en résidence (EER). Les EER sont soigneusement sélectionnés et jumelés à chaque PME en fonction de leur expérience et de leurs connaissances spécifiques. Le programme aide les PME participantes à devenir «prêtes à investir» en leur fournissant de nouvelles compétences pour attirer des fonds d’investissement. Chaque année de cohorte du programme se terminera par une séance de présentation aux investisseurs au cours de laquelle les participants utiliseront leurs nouvelles compétences pour faire une présentation à un groupe d’investisseurs présélectionnés.
