BioArbor brings together life sciences professionals in the greater Ann Arbor area for engaging educational and networking events. Each session features industry experts, offering insights and fostering meaningful connections to help advance innovation and growth in our local life sciences community.

What happens when capital meets opportunity? Hear directly from the funds selected as recipients of the new Michigan Innovation Fund (MIF) as they reveal how they plan to deploy this catalytic investment into early-stage companies. This candid conversation will pull back the curtain on how investors evaluate pitches, structure partnerships, and shape the next generation of Michigan-born innovation. Expect straight talk, sharp insights, and maybe a few surprises about what it takes to win early-stage funding in today’s competitive life sciences and tech landscape.
