“I have known André for many years as a trusted partner in the European life sciences community. When we first met during the early days of the Council of European Bioregions, the concept of entrepreneurship and building innovation-driven clusters was new to many. André was among the first to understand that when establishing a successful biotech startup, science enables, but business always leads – and he practiced accordingly.

When we later worked together on financing opportunities for my biotech company, I experienced first-hand his commitment to entrepreneurs and his ability to connect promising technologies with investors, strategic partners and international networks. André understands that successful innovation requires more than excellent science – it needs capital, market perspective and the right people around the table. This combination of strategic understanding, international reach and genuine commitment to founders makes him a highly valuable partner.”
