Binding kinetics platform participated as a finalist in the Health category of South Summit Startup Competition.
Enzymlogic’s Binding Kinetics platform, a drug discovery platform for biotech and pharma companies, was chosen among 3000 applicants as one of 100 finalists to participate in South Summit’s Startup Competition in Madrid. The company presented its innovative platform in the health category during the morning of October 6, 2016.
Each year South Summit brings together the most disruptive Startups from any industry and anywhere in the World. This year’s startup competition has been an extremely competitive and fiercely fought battle between some of the most exciting and innovative startups across 10 industry tracks.
“It is an honor to be chosen to showcase Enzymlogic at one of the most prestigious events in Europe,” said Ana Corrionero, cofounder and CEO of Enzymlogic. “There is an urgent need of creative and innovative solutions to accelerate the delivering of life-changing drugs capable of tackling the medical challenges of our times. That is why we have developed a drug discovery platform that gives a faster and better understanding of how new medicines will behave in human body. With our Binding Kinetics platform, we measures in a very simple and fast way not only the strength but also the time that a drug remains bound to the target that leads to disease. As a result, our platform can reduce costs by withdrawing ineffective or unsafe drugs earlier in the process, promotes chemical diversity enhancing our customers’ intellectual property and boost the identification of new therapeutic uses for drugs yet on the market”.
The South Summit health category has received collaboration from Venture Health, a venture capital company from Silicon Valley that is committed to investing in innovation as a way to transform clinical results. South Summit, organized by Startup Spain and IE Business School with collaboration from Endesa, BStartup Banc Sabadell and Google for Entrepreneurs, has brought together all stakeholders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem: startups, investors, institutions, companies and leading corporations. A space to bring out all the creativity that drives innovation and disruption to launch an idea, solve existing problems in different ways and generate new business spaces.
