Do you need to secure funding for a biocontrol innovation? Then participate in the ABIM Call for Pitches

Attention Agripreneurs!

Do you need to secure funding for a biocontrol innovation? Then participate in the Call for Pitches, a unique opportunity at ABIM in partnership with AgBioScout.

The submission process is open until 5 September. The pitching sessions will take place on 23 October 2024, at ABIM in Basel, Switzerland.

A total of twelve companies will be selected to pitch in front of a panel of investors.

The pitches will be split into two sessions, the first session consisting of six early-stage companies will be presented in the main auditorium from 8:30-10:00. The second round for later-stage companies will be presented in an invite only session from 10:30-12:30.

To ensure your opportunity to pitch, please send your pitch deck of no more than 10 slides to conference@abim.ch

The pitch decks will be reviewed by a jury consisting of:

• Lucius Tamm – CEO, ABIM
• Jennifer Lewis – Executive Director, IBMA Global
• Cormac O’Cleirigh – Vice President of Partnerships, AgBioScout
• Hadyn Parry – Chairman at Aphea.Bio, LettUs Grow and PBL Technology

So, what happens if I am successful?
If you are one of those selected to pitch, AgBioScout will help you prepare your pitch for ABIM. Successful applicants who secure funding for their innovation will be required to pay 1% of funds directly raised from the event to AgBioScout. 

If you have questions about putting together the pitch, please contact Nick Harman of AgBioScout at nick@agbioscout.com.

Submit your pitch by 5 September  to conference@abim.ch indicating Call for Pitches and the organization’s name in the subject line. Please note pitch decks received after this date will not be considered.
