Biopharma Innovation Cup 2019
A career at Merck is an ongoing journey of discovery: our 52,000 people are shaping how the world lives, works and plays through next generation advancements in healthcare, life science and performance materials.
The Biopharma Innovation Cup brings together a promising new generation of academic talents from life sciences and business administration with the company’s senior management, active researchers and accomplished retirees. Attendees work in small teams on their innovative idea that addresses unmet medical need and develop that idea into a business plan. The teams present their business plans to a grand jury composed of our top management plus external consultants. The jury selects the best business plan and awards the Biopharma Innovation Cup award with a cash prize of EUR 20,000 plus EUR 5,000 for the runner-up. On the last day of the Innovation Cup, participants join a conference with alumni from previous editions with ample networking opportunities.
