As part of Go Europe Connect 2026, led by The Ganesha Lab, we spent an inspiring week in Berlin exploring Germany’s biotechnology ecosystem, strengthening international connections, and identifying new opportunities.

CIC Berlin served as our home base throughout the week, providing a dynamic environment to connect with entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders, and the broader innovation community.

Our journey included visits and exchanges across key scientific and innovation hubs, including Potsdam Science Park, Campus Berlin-Buch GmbH and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin , where we gained valuable insights into research infrastructure, technology transfer, clinical innovation, and the strong connections between academia, industry, and entrepreneurship.

One of the highlights was the participation of Laura Alaniz, our CEO and Co-founder, as a speaker at the panel “Biotech Without Borders: How Biotech Startups & Industry Can Build Together?”, held at Venture Café Berlin, as part of CIC Berlin’s second anniversary celebration . The discussion focused on strengthening collaboration between biotech startups and established industry players to accelerate innovation and real-world impact.

Another key moment was the opportunity to pitch Mestem Bio and showcase our technology at the Venture Café Berlin Demo Table, presenting our approach to regenerative medicine and off-the-shelf cell therapies to the international innovation community.

Throughout the week, we also engaged in valuable conversations with investors, industry experts, and potential partners, exploring regulatory pathways, technology transfer, medical innovation, and opportunities for international market entry.

From Latin America to Europe, building bridges to advance biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and healthier lives.
