Our first special issue ‚Life Sciences‘ features a cover interview with Ghazaleh Madani, founder of CanChip. She was awarded the German Startup Award as Newcomer of the Year in 2025 and regularly wins prizes with her start-up. She tells us what drives her, the role of artificial intelligence in her business, and how she handles criticism.
In this special issue, we also take a closer look at how Germany and Europe currently position themselves within the global life sciences sector. We explore the present funding landscape and examine how European life sciences start-ups can thrive in the long term despite today’s challenging market conditions. In addition, we highlight exemplary start-ups like Nuclidium and Tubulis that are gaining international attention, and we profile some of the most innovative life sciences locations.
In our Investor Insights section, experts provide valuable perspectives on robust regulatory investment structures, the role of IP, and crowdfunding opportunities tailored for life sciences start-ups. This issue’s Tech Trends include radiopharmaceuticals, longevity, obesity, animal health, and transplantation medicine. Best practice examples – including SenseUp, Ningaloo and mbiomics – also show how founders and investors are successfully creating the life sciences stars of tomorrow!
And for those seeking relevant contacts within the life sciences ecosystem, our contact guide starting on page 64 is the perfect place to begin!
