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:

is aimed at all Oncology project leaders (researchers, clinicians, students and entrepreneurs) at an early stage: before the start-up is created or for start-ups less than 2 years old.
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.
also receive help with pitch preparation and feedback from experts.

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

Why to apply?

You will benefit from a comprehensive overview of the issues involved and the steps to be taken to ensure the success of your innovative oncology project. You will develop your network by meeting high-level speakers from a variety of backgrounds (experts, consultants, patient associations, investors, etc.). You will have the opportunity to make new contacts with other project leaders and share your experiences (meetings on the cluster site).
