IOCB Tech

What does it take to build stronger biotech startups in Europe? A recent visit by the EIF to @iocbprague.bsky.social opened a discussion on access to capital, talent, and the conditions young biotech companies need to grow. www.uochb.cz/en/news/834/... #Biotech #TechTransfer #VentureCapital

Last week, we welcomed a Taiwan BIO delegation to @iocbprague.bsky.social. Together with i&i Prague and Prague.bio, we introduced the Czech biotech ecosystem, IOCB Prague, and the innovation network around it. #Biotech #TechTransfer #Taiwan

🗨️ "Now comes a phase that is naturally close to our hearts at @iocbtech.bsky.social: we want to focus more on supporting #techtransfer while also opening the foundation to new partnerships with other donors," says IOCB Tech Director Milan Prášil regading the recent rebrand of @iocbfoundation.cz.

What if there would be a treatment for #obesity & #osteoporosis in women after #menopause? @IOCBTech has a program exactly addressing this problem - ready for #investments Presenting at #PragueBio2026 #PharmTheon

Yesterday at PharmTheon, we welcomed colleagues from IMol and @iimcb.bsky.social for a discussion on future collaboration. IOCB Tech also presented the innovation ecosystem around @iocbprague.bsky.social and how it helps move strong science beyond the lab. #TechTransfer #Biotech

🕹️ A game with a scientific twist? Prague has one. Mission Retrovirus is a new outdoor game in Dejvice inspired by Czech antiviral research and the legacy of Antonín Holý. Play outdoors or online. Good news: from September, the game will also be available in English. www.uochb.cz/cs/novinky/8...

What biological question would you ask if feasibility were not the first constraint? The new #DreamBiologyAward by IOCB Prague invites young scientists to submit ambitious life science visions — bold ideas with originality, depth, and long-term impact at their core.

Background in life sciences and thinking about how to move closer to business, leadership, and innovation? Applications for the 2nd edition of the Prague.bio Executive Academy are open until 31 July. More info and application: prague.bio/academy/ #LifeSciences #Biotech #ExecutiveAcademy

Czech biotech stands on stronger foundations than many still assume. Nearly 430 entities, CZK 97.5bn in annual revenue, and growing investor attention show real momentum. But further growth will depend on one thing: turning strong science into investable, scalable projects. #Biotech #Czechia

Boston is not just a location. It is a concentration of capital, experience, and decision-making. For Central European projects, that is not an abstract benchmark, but a different operating environment. Through IOCB Boston, we are already part of that ecosystem. #Biotech #TechTransfer #Boston

Join us at #BioEquity Europe 2026 for the Regional Host Panel: How to Bring Great Science to Market – The CEE Case. Julie Proft will join the discussion, moderated by Zuzana Válková, on what makes CEE science investable and how the region can build stronger biotech success. 📅 5 May 🕓 4:00 pm

Thank you very much to the @biovaria.bsky.social team for a great #BioVaria 2026. see you next year for #BioVaria2027 #innovation #BioTech

The afternoon session @biovaria.bsky.social 2026 is filled with 3 projects developed at @iocbprague.bsky.social - The SQM - Quantum Mechanical Scoring is starting off the trio. The team has already 3 Pharma partners & looking for more #BioVaria2026 #innovation #BioTech

Gasdermin inhibitors for the treatment of #stroke. A #smallmolecule program from #LDC & #KHANH presented @biovaria.bsky.social

@bihatcharite.bsky.social is opening the scientific part of #BioVaria2026 - Genome editing for the cure of #PR3-AAC patients. #techtransfer #innovation #biovaria

And so it starts @biovaria.bsky.social 2026. Looking forward to great technologies, interesting talks & networking. AND our yearly BlueSky battle #BioVaria2026 #techtransfer #innovation

Not every important step in life sciences starts with a new concept. Sometimes, it comes from making existing methods work better. Great to see LAM-X develop VerdiBlot and continue precise work on nanomaterials — thoughtful innovation in a part of science that often stays out of the spotlight.

Bio€quity Europe is almost here! From 4–6 May 2026, Prague will welcome investors, biotech companies, and tech transfer professionals for several days of partnering and discussion. For IOCB Tech, it is an important space where research, investment, and application meet. #BioEquity #Biotech

Czechia is not lagging in research investment. Around 2% of GDP goes into R&D, and the scientific base is strong. The challenge is what comes next: turning research into companies, products, and market presence. That is where IOCB Tech works. #TechTransfer #Innovation

🇵🇹 We’re delighted to be at BIO-Europe Spring in beautiful Lisbon, Portugal, alongside our colleagues from Prague.bio Come and meet us at BOOTH 73. 🤝🧬 #BIOEuropeSpring #Lisbon #Biotech #LifeSciences #Networking #Innovation

“Who owns the work an AI produces — and how safe is our data, really?” 🤖 That’s why Matěj Malý and Kateřina Habelová joined a seminar at the Prague Innovation Institute on IP, AI & ethics in research (Feb 25), including what the European AI Act will mean in practice. 📷 Prague Innovation Institute

Today, we’re happy to spotlight Jana Kenney — Analyst & Project Manager at IOCB Tech. 👤🧬 Jana brings a sharp analytical mindset and a great feel for what it takes to move projects forward beyond the lab. #MeetTheTeam #IOCBTech #LifeSciences #TechnologyTransfer #TechTransfer #Biotech

Should biotech stay in the lab — or also help strengthen Europe’s security? 🛡️ 💬 “Given today’s geopolitics, we in biotech can’t ignore stability and safety,” says Matěj Malý (IOCB Tech). Feb 17: Czech Industry Day + EDF matchmaking. 🤝 🔗 lnkd.in/dzt93UFs #Biotech #Defence #EDF #Innovation

📬 Worth a quick read: Press 13 (January 2026) from the Harvard Innovation Labs. And it’s also a good reminder why it matters that Ústav organické chemie a biochemie AV ČR has a presence in Boston through IOCB Boston 🇺🇸🔬 👉 Read the newsletter: lnkd.in/dkWJ9KJp #Boston #Cambridge #Innovation

🇱🇺 In Luxembourg, Petr Zelenka’s Elegance of the Molecule opened a window into the moment when a scientific idea first takes shape — inspired by discoveries of Czech chemist Antonín Holý. It’s a reminder for Europe’s innovators to keep an eye on the new stories emerging in Czechia. #TechTransfer

Science met theatre last night in Luxembourg — and the result was a powerful reminder of how stories shape discovery. The Elegance of the Molecule by Dejvické divadlo brought researchers, actors, founders and diplomats onto one stage — and into one storyworld. #LifeSciences #TechTransfer #Luxembourg

✨It’s official: Julie Proft is stepping into the role of Deputy Director of IOCB Tech.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Makoto Fujita, Omar Yaghi & Susumu Kitagawa for creating MOFs — molecular frameworks that harvest water from desert air, capture CO₂, or store toxic gases. That’s what #TechTransfer is about — turning science into impact. 📸 Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences

🍸The formula proved simple: collaborate, stir, repeat.
One more toast to the IOCB Tech crew — the shared effort made the last IOCB Happy Hours click — and a quiet cheer for Ladislava, our patent attorney, for her steady behind-the-scenes support.✨ #TechTransfer #LifeSciences #Innovation #networking

Great news come in pairs! ✨ Thrilled to welcome Vijay Miriyala to IOCB Tech. His resolve, experience, and energy will help us keep building momentum for impact. 🍀 #TechTransfer #LifeSciences #Innovation

Thrilled to welcome Matěj Malý to IOCB Tech! Science becomes innovation through people who connect the dots – and his expertise will help us do just that. #TechTransfer #LifeSciences #Innovation
