Why it exists

The board looks to you for success.

The company looks to you for guidance.

So who do you turn to?

Few people can be fully honest with a CEO, and a CEO can be fully honest with fewer still. The CEO Community gives you a room of peers in the same seat, where hard decisions get talked through openly and in confidence.

“LifeScience ORG is a unique platform for biotech CEOs to connect with peers throughout Europe - if you ever thought CEO was a lonely job, LifeScience ORG is where that ends.”

Klaas Zuideveld · TECregen

Who’s in the room

Same problems, different countries

Cultural and regulatory gaps keep Europe’s CEOs apart, so the same lessons get learnt again in every country. The community connects CEOs beyond their local cluster, from smaller innovation centres to the largest ecosystems.
