Biotech start-ups

Full Premium Access, free of charge, for qualifying biotech therapeutic start-ups. Your company should be:

  • founded within the last four years (in 2022 or later), and
  • developing its own drug candidates.
Investors

Full Premium Access, free of charge, for active life-science investors. Your organisation should be:

  • a recognised investor – venture capital, corporate venture, family office or institutional fund – investing its own or its fund’s capital, and
  • actively managing a portfolio, with new investments made over the past few years.

Register for Free Basic Access and select the group that applies to you. We review each request and upgrade qualifying accounts within two business days. Any questions? Please contact us.

1 Innovators develop their own products or technologies: biotech (therapeutics and diagnostics), pharma, medical technology, healthtech, investors, media, and public, academic and non-profit organisations. Service providers supply services or products to the industry: R&D services and contract research organisations, professional services and consulting, suppliers and engineering.

We assign your category automatically from your Biotechgate company profile and reserve the right to review it. If you believe your company has been classified incorrectly, please contact us – we are happy to look at it.

2 A meeting request only counts towards this limit while it is still unanswered. As soon as the other party accepts or declines, the slot is free again. The number of meetings you can hold during the conference is not limited.

3 Early bird: register on or before 30 Oct 2026 for 33.3% off every Premium Access rate. The discounted amount is rounded down to the nearest USD. Standard rates apply automatically afterwards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Who is Biotechgate Digital Partnering for?
Biotechgate Digital Partnering is designed for life science companies and professionals looking for licensing, collaboration and business development opportunities. Participants include biotech, medtech, pharma, diagnostics and healthtech companies, as well as organizations providing services to the life sciences industry.
Who typically participates?
Biotechgate Digital Partnering brings together business development and senior management professionals from biotech, pharma, medtech and other life science organizations worldwide.

Across previous editions, more than 20,000 delegates have participated, with attendees from over 60 countries.
Is Biotechgate Digital Partnering free?
Registration and access depend on your company type. Eligible Innovator companies can access the event through the free Basic option, with limits on the number of meetings. Service Providers require paid access to use the partnering features.

Additional paid/Premium options are available for participants who require expanded partnering access. Please see the Pricing & Registration section for the options available for the current edition.
How do I register?
New participants can register for Biotechgate Digital Partnering through the event website (click here to register), where the available registration options are shown based on your company type.

If you have participated previously and have opted in to automatic registration, you may already be registered for the next edition. Your profile is set to visible automatically; other participants can find it and send you meeting requests once partnering opens. You can review your participation and automatic registration settings in your personal profile.
How many meeting requests can I send?
Innovators using Basic Access can send up to 5 meeting requests during the event.

With paid/Premium Access, there is no limit on the total number of meetings you can hold, although the number of unanswered meeting requests you can have open at the same time is limited. Once a request is accepted or declined, that request no longer counts towards the open-request limit.

Service Providers require paid access to send meeting requests.
How is an Innovator or Service Provider classified?
Registration options for Biotechgate Digital Partnering depend on whether your organization is classified as an Innovator or a Service Provider in the Biotechgate BD&L Intelligence Platform.
How can I upgrade my access?
The access options available to you depend on your company type. When you log in or register, the system will show the registration or upgrade options available for your company.

Eligible Innovators can upgrade from Basic Access to a paid/Premium option. Service Providers can select one of the available paid registration options.

See Pricing & Registration for current prices and access levels.
What is automatic registration?
If you have opted in to automatic registration, you are registered for future Biotechgate Digital Partnering editions without further action. Your profile is set up from your previous edition and set to visible automatically; other participants can find it and send you requests once partnering opens. You will receive an email with a link to set your password for the new edition. Please review your profile, and change your settings at any time in your personal profile.
Can I opt out if I am automatically registered?
Yes. You can opt out of an individual Biotechgate Digital Partnering edition if you do not wish to participate. You can also change your automatic registration settings in your personal profile for future editions. For the steps, see the next question.
How can I deactivate my visible profile or cancel my participation?
You have three options:
  • In your personal profile, go to "Cancel participation" and click "De-register from this conference". You can choose whether to de-register only from this conference or generally from future conferences as well.
  • Use the de-registration link that is also included in the emails we send you.
  • Contact us using the details in the Contact section. We will deactivate your profile within one working day.
When you de-register, your profile is deactivated and any scheduled meetings are cancelled.
How can I check who is assigned to my company account?
On your dashboard, the section "Delegates of [your company]" shows the people assigned to your company account. Colleagues assigned to the same company share the messenger and can read your company's messages, so please check that the company and the people listed are correct. If you are assigned to the wrong company, or you see people you do not know or who should not have access, please contact us (see the Contact section).
How can I increase my chances of securing relevant meetings?
Partnering is participant-driven, so we recommend actively searching for relevant companies and sending targeted meeting requests rather than relying only on incoming requests.

Make sure your company profile and partnering opportunities are complete and up to date, clearly explain what you are looking for or offering, and include a short, relevant message with your meeting request. Providing sufficient availability also makes it easier for accepted meetings to be scheduled.
When can meetings take place?
One-to-one meetings can be scheduled throughout the duration of Biotechgate Digital Partnering. Set your availability in your local time zone on the Agenda page, and HelloPartnering will schedule accepted meetings in a timeslot where all participants are available.
How are one-to-one meetings scheduled?
When a meeting request is accepted, HelloPartnering looks for a mutually available timeslot in both participants' agendas. Once a suitable slot is found, the meeting is scheduled automatically and appears in your agenda.

Make sure your availability is up to date throughout the event.
How do I join my one-to-one meetings?
Your scheduled meetings are shown in your Agenda in HelloPartnering. At the scheduled time, open the meeting in your Agenda and use the meeting link provided to join the virtual meeting.

Each scheduled meeting has its own meeting link/session key. We recommend joining a few minutes before the scheduled start time and testing your microphone and camera in advance.
Why does my accepted meeting say "no mutual availability"?
"No mutual availability" means that the system could not find an available meeting time shared by all participants. Try opening additional timeslots in your agenda. The system will attempt to schedule the meeting again. You can also contact the other participant through the messenger and ask whether they are able to add more availability.
How do I change my time zone?
You can set your time zone in your personal profile and confirm it from the Agenda page. All meeting times will then be displayed in your selected local time zone.
How do meeting notifications work?
You can choose which email notifications you receive from your notification preferences, including new meeting requests, messages, cancellations and scheduled or rescheduled meetings.

Certain service and transactional emails (for example account activation, password reset and registration confirmations) are sent automatically and cannot be switched off, as they are required for the platform to work.

If you are not receiving notifications, check your preferences and spam/junk folder and ensure emails from the Biotechgate domain are allowed.
What do I need for virtual meetings?
We recommend using a computer with a stable internet connection, microphone and camera, and the latest version of Zoom. If you have not used Zoom recently, we recommend testing your setup before your first meeting using Zoom's test-meeting service.

If your organization cannot use Zoom, please contact us before the event to discuss available alternatives.
Are the virtual one-to-one video calls private?
Each scheduled one-to-one meeting has its own unique meeting link/session key. This prevents other conference participants from entering your meeting simply because they have another meeting scheduled before or after yours. Please do not share your meeting link.
How can I contact support?
Our contact details are in the Contact section at the bottom of this page. The best way to reach us is by email or through the contact form.
