Scientists hold the key to breakthrough life-science innovations. Translating innovation into benefits for society requires entrepreneurial spirit and expertise. By combining our scientific, entrepreneurial and educational excellence, we as founding partners started the Life Science Entrepreneurship Academy, LISEAD, to bridge that gap and empower more scientists to become successful entrepreneurs.

You're cordially invited

ESMT President Jörg Rocholl invites you to join a special cohort of future leading "scientrepreneurs".

Let's go deeper

Seasoned entrepreneur and founder of Blue Ribbon Partners, Marco Janezic, breaks down the LISEAD program for you.

Why we need LISEAD in Germany

Prof. Matthias Tschöp, CEO of Helmholtz Munich, portrays the observations in the German Science Innovation ecosystem that calls for the formation of an academy to bring forward scientific “Hybrid-talents” skilled in science, entrepreneurship & management.

What you'll learn

Daniela Sommer, CTO of Helmholtz Munich, describes the unique content of the bootcamp and why we believe that a human-centric design is the key to success for entrepreneurial executive education.

How it works: our unique compilation for scientists

LISEAD is designed for aspiring life science entrepreneurs and prepares you for a different world. For us, success means helping you thrive in your transition from a research-focused scientist to a business-minded, entrepreneurial scientist. Hence, we spared no effort to design an entrepreneurial schedule tailored to scientists and dipped into the expertise of all our founding and supporting partners. The result is a unique combination of three key ingredients reflected in our three pillars of success:

Three pillars of success

(1) Unlock your potential:

With our tailor-made psychometric assessment before and during the program, we help you to discover your entrepreneurial potential as well as clusters of traits and motivational drivers which promote your development journey: Who is your entrepreneurial "you"? What complementary characters would help you thrive in a team? How can you get comfortable feeling uncomfortable?

(2) Try before you fly:

How can you know if it works without having tried it? Live your first startup experience and experience the irreplaceable value of living through the challenges of a startup leader in our tailor-made company-building simulation.

We have recruited practiced entrepreneurial veterans, business experts and leadership coaches from the life sciences to share their experience with you, guide you and answer all your questions.
