Applications to BIGinBIO have shown an impressive increase of more than 100% over last year, reflecting the consolidation and recognition in the Latin American biotech ecosystem. In addition, candidates submitted their applications from several countries, such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, and Costa Rica, among others demonstrating our outreach throughout the Continent.

Our team will review the applications and pre-select 25 startups that will move on to the second stage of the process: a one-on-one interview with the TGL team, during which they will present their ventures in more details.

Markus Schreyer, our CEO and founder, has stated that “we have received a large number of strong applications, making this process a true challenge for us as well, as we need to select which companies will continue in the selection round to be part of our 8th Generation”.
