The evening will include talks by ELIXIR UK describing the entrepreneurial environment of public data resources and the types of business models that can be leveraged to start-up a company. The Cambridge based company Repositive will act as a real-life example of a company operating in this innovation space and show how a collaborative and open approach can help to tackle the most challenging scientific questions. One Nucleus will conclude the evening with a talk on how industry associations can support academics, start-ups, SMEs and large multinational companies in their pursuit. The talks will be followed by a Q&A session in panel style chaired by Gabriella Rustici (Head fo the Bioinformatics Training Programme, School of Biological Sciences, University of Cambridge & ELIXIR UK Training Coordinator), Food and Drinks!
