About Our Panel “From Lab to Market: The Investor-Innovator Dynamic in Biotech”

May 5, 15:30 – 16:15, room Marriott 3+4+5

Biotech innovation is a high-stakes game where ideas meet funding limits. In 2025, shifting investment cycles—from the metabolic disease boom to struggles in cell and gene therapies—reshape the landscape. Macroeconomic and political forces, including U.S. research funding shifts and Europe’s fragmented capital markets, add complexity. This panel explores how investors filter opportunities, which biotech sectors rise or fall, and what it takes to secure investment.

Speakers: 

  • Joris Pezzini, Executive Vice President, Biopharma at Alira Health
  • Pascale Eede, Associate at Apollo Health Ventures
  • Pierre Morgon, CEO at Ibex Therapeutics
  • Massimo Mineo, CEO at Neurolieve Biosciences Ltd, General Partner at Sunrise Venture Capital
  • Kevin Hammon, Vice President at EQT Life Science
