ONCOENTREPRENEUR
PROGRAM
Launched in 2014 by the Cancer Campus, the OncoEntrepreneur program trains people with innovative projects at an early stage. The Paris Saclay Cancer Cluster has been piloting and running this programme since 2022 to encourage and support entrepreneurship in oncology.
The programme:
-
Aimed at any oncology project leader (researchers, clinicians, students, and entrepreneurs) at an early stage: before the creation of the start-up or for start-ups in the development phase.
-
is made up of a common core curriculum and additional training specific to biotech, medtech and e-health.
Selected projects:
-
benefit from 25 masterclasses (2 hours a week for 7 months) covering the key issues involved in setting up a company and the specificities of oncology: shareholder agreements, intellectual property, regulatory and tax issues, partnerships, preclinical studies and clinical trials, fundraising, market access, etc.
-

This PSCC programme is part of the OncoSTART collective's toolbox for entrepreneurship in the fight against cancer.
