BII Impact Report 2023
A unique insight into BioInnovation Institute’s 2023 Journey
We proudly present BioInnovation Institute’s (BII) 2023 impact report.
We want to say a huge thank you to all our partners, stakeholders, and the broader ecosystem, who have all contributed to our positive development in 2023. We hope this report will enlighten you on BII’s positive impact in 2023 and inspire your continued support for our mission.
2023 was a remarkable year for BII as we continued to improve our offerings to
life science researchers and entrepreneurs. The results achieved by the start-ups
and company creation projects incubated at BII, which you can read about in this
report, clearly underline our value as a catalyzer for bringing ideas to life and
research to market.
In our acceleration program, Venture Lab, we welcomed 17 new companies, who
all share our goal of contributing to planetary and human health by commercializing
novel and science-based solutions that can help combat societal challenges.
By bringing together excellent entrepreneurs at BII, we strengthen our community
and the opportunities for people to learn from each other throughout their
entrepreneurial journeys.
In our company creation program, Bio Studio, we welcomed several highly impactful
projects spanning from researching novel foods to developing treatments for
endometriosis. To ensure the success of these projects, we onboarded several
experienced ‘Entrepreneurs in Residence’ who play a critical role in the company
creation process.
The positive development in these programs only offers
a glimpse of our activities in 2023. Throughout the report, you can also enjoy
reading about many of the significant initiatives and partnerships we initiated with
one common goal – to bring ideas to life and research to market.

Council discussions on the Danish government’s upcoming life science strategy.
Cultivating the bii community
From inspiring talks from high-profile scientists and entrepreneurs to informal chats in the hallways
across the building and festive Friday bars, we are facilitating a dynamic and vibrant environment
