Biotangents wins ‘Innovation Award’ at Animal Health Innovation Europe

Animal Health Innovation Europe is the sector's premier investment forum, showcasing the most exciting innovation in animal health and nutrition, connecting emerging companies with financial investors and strategic corporate partners.

More than 50 start-ups entered the competition and were divided into two distinguishable sections: companion animal & pet care and production animal.

The event consisted of a pitch presentation by Rachel Mallet, Biotangents' Director of Commercialisation, followed by a ‘dragons panel’ comprising industry experts in animal health:

• Simon Doherty (Veterinary surgeon & One Health & Sustainability expert)
• Laëtitia Gerbe, (Partner, Seventure)
• Joost Matthijssen (Director of Venturing, Nutreco)
• Patricia Barclay (International Life Science lawyer and Business Mentor)

Companies were judged not only on their presentation but on the strength of the company and its technology, their strategic goals, their advantages over competitors, and their proposition to end users and investors.

Biotangents, succeeded due to the potential of our Moduleic Sensing™ platform technology to facilitate personalised medicine on the farm and in the clinic to improve sustainability and welfare. The judges were also impressed with our future product pipeline.
