 In November 2017, RESI came to New York for the first time and gathered together investors from all over the world to meet scientist-entrepreneurs from the rising life science hub in the city. With hundreds of partnering meetings based on fit, RESI NYC allowed these entrepreneurs to start dialogues with global investors drawn from LSN's established network.
RESI NYC will feature a full day of partnering, panel and workshop content, networking and more. Startups from the biotech, medtech, diagnostics and digital health verticals are now welcome to register for RESI NYC to join the global investor dialogue. We hope you will join us again there.
