Following our previous post, in which we introduced the C-E of our start-up zone for the World Vaccine Congress in Washington, we are excited to share a further update: G-I of the start-up zone. If you are interested in joining your colleagues in the start-up area, please make an application or contact isabella.aung@terrapinn.com for more details.
If your application is successful, you will receive the following benefits:
- 1m wall space in the Start-up Zone
- 2 passes to the conference and exhibition
- Branding and marketing materials
- Access to our networking portal
Further details can be found on the Congress website; don’t delay as spaces are limited!
Who is already in the zone?
Genvax Technologies
Genvax (GV) utilises self-amplifying messenger RNA (saRNA) combined nanoparticles to manufacture vaccines for the prevention of infectious diseases in animals. An emphasis will be placed on creating herd-specific vaccines that can be rapidly deployed to match the genetic sequence of pathogens occurring in livestock operations.
Green Elephant Biotech
Green Elephant Biotech is a start-up founded in 2021 by Dr. Joel Eichmann and Felix Wollenhaupt in Giessen, Germany. The core idea behind Green Elephant Biotech is to reduce CO2 emissions of single-use plastics within the biotech and pharma industry. The company enables the production of sophisticated therapeutics and vaccines through efficient and scalable cell cultivation devices and consumables while using plant-based materials.
HDT Bio
HDT Bio is a Seattle-based, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical development company. With core technology and expertise in nucleic acid formulation, the company develops products that seek to harness host-directed immune responses. HDT Bio’s work focuses on infectious disease and oncology vaccines and therapeutics through early-stage collaborations with partners worldwide.
The company’s vaccine platform, repRNA/LION™, combines formulation and adjuvant ingredients to stabilize and deliver self-amplifying RNA to the immune system to stimulate responses. HDT Bio’s COVID-19 vaccine is the first self-amplifying RNA vaccine to ever receive a regulatory authorisation.
Idevax
Idevax is a medical device company based in Antwerp, Belgium. The company was founded in December 2020.
Idevax develops, produces, and commercialises innovative medical devices. The company’s flagship product is VAX-ID, a device allowing for accurate, reliable, and user-independent intradermal drug delivery. VAX-ID is an award-winning, patented device. Idevax is in the process of obtaining its ISO13485 certification as well as CE marking and FDA approval of its drug delivery device as a Class IIa device.
Key applications of the device include prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine delivery as well as immunotherapy. Idevax was founded by seasoned entrepreneurs, Koen Beyers and Vanessa Vankerckhoven and forms with Daniele Scalco Vasconcelos, MSc, and Momen Rbeihat, MD, a team of 4 people.
