BioChallenge 2025

BioChallenge is NOBIC’s global pitch competition showcasing life sciences startup companies with cutting edge technologies and innovative solutions.

This year our theme is neuroscience. According to the World Health Organization, over 1 in 3 people are affected by neurological conditions- the leading cause of illness and disability worldwide. Healthcare needs new solutions to change this devastating statistic. NOBIC’s BioChallenge will bring neuro-focused startups to the forefront and award funding to help support their growth and scalability.

At NOBIC, we foster an environment where startups have access to funding, facilities, resources and a community of support. Our BioChallenge winners are forever apart of our community and have impacted the healthcare and biotechnology industry in many exciting ways.

Watch innovative neuro-tech startups compete for $100K in non-dilutive funding. And help us Award and audience favorite!
