On 26–27 November, Kraków, “the City of Life Science”, hosts Life Science Open Space 2026 (LSOS), the international collaboration summit for health and quality of life organised by CEBR member Klaster LifeScience Kraków. This year’s edition is a special one: Klaster LifeScience Kraków celebrates its 20th anniversary, having recently been confirmed once again as one of Poland’s National Key Clusters.
Find what your project needs
LSOS brings together researchers, start-ups, industry leaders, investors and policymakers from across Europe and beyond. Rather than a traditional conference, it is designed as an open space where participants bring concrete needs and offers to find the right partners. The programme includes:
- Project pitches and collaboration offers, where participants present what they are looking for
- Science-to-Business pitching, with research teams seeking validation, licensing, spin-out opportunities or funding
- Start-up pitches to investors and industry
- Business2Science talks and panels
- Thematic sessions on biotech, digital health, early diagnostics and the future of healthcare
- Partner search across sectors and an informal evening networking session
An opportunity for CEBR members
LSOS is an open door to Kraków’s life science ecosystem. CEBR members are welcome to pitch their needs, present collaboration offers and meet potential partners from Poland and across Europe, while joining Klaster LifeScience Kraków in celebrating two decades of building one of Central Europe’s most dynamic bioregions.
Participation is free of charge.
