This #AgileLeaders Forum theme:

The financial markets are getting better - true or false?

The financial markets have had their ups and downs in the last few years, if not permanently. There is an invisible force called sentiment and this is very hard to really understand. But there is optimism today, and investors are becoming more enthusiastic about life sciences, and the sentiment is back. We will discuss what is happening in the financial markets and how this affects investment in life sciences. How much does the market affect the ability of a good idea to get finance? We will be discussing this exciting topic from as many angles as possible.

Amongst other experts, Max Herrmann, managing partner at Stifel Corp, will join us and give us his current analysis of the financial markets.

How you will benefit from attending Agile Leaders?

As a Business Leader, you will benefit from this "Agile" workshop by sharing common challenges and building deeper connections and trust with your peers. In turn, the aim is to build your confidence when working in areas normally outside your comfort zone, by learning and having discussions with this / your "Agile" peer network. You can speak to people in a similar position about issues you may not have the opportunity to talk about elsewhere. You can discuss your challenges by learning from other people's experiences to help you find a solution or spark an idea. Why let leaders of emerging companies reinvent the wheel to be successful when we can learn from the experiences of others who have faced similar challenges before?

Chatham House Rules apply - "what goes on in the workshop, stays in the workshop - so to speak!" We are planning to write up some of the interesting features of the discussion but won't attribute anyone's comment or view so they can be identified. This is so we feel we can a free and open discussion without the worry about being quoted somewhere.
