Following the successful first edition in 2021, Proefdiervrij will organise a second edition of the Proefdiervrij Venture Challenge from January 2022 until march 2022. Below you’ll find all the information pertaining to the Proefdiervrij Venture Challenge 2022.

During the Venture Challenge, researchers are guided in setting up a venture plan, in which a scientific breakthrough within the life sciences is converted into a solid business case. In doing so, they learn various skills needed to start or further develop a business. In this way, we want to increase and accelerate the impact of non-animal research on the use of laboratory animals. The Proefdiervrij Venture Challenge is also open to researcher that not necessarily want to start a business, but are interested in bringing their innovation to the market.
