WASHINGTON, June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — ENRICH in the USA, a European Commission DG Research funded initiative, helped introduce and support a wide array of European Union (EU) tech firms and startups, during the BIO International Convention 2019 in Philadelphia, PA, and the Select USA Investment Summit in Washington, DC.

“We are actively helping EU tech entrepreneurs and researchers that are looking for partnering and investment/funding opportunities in the United States. ENRICH in the USA’s Philadelphia Hub just moved to Temple University – Small Business Development Center, and is hosting four European companies, two of which pitched at BIO 2019. And the Washington DC ENRICH in the USA Center is now hosted by the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA),” said Blandine Chantepie-Kari, VP University & Entrepreneurship Soft Landing Programs, EAEC (European American Enterprise Council).  EAEC is an ENRICH in the USA partner.

“Many of the EU companies and startups we supported at BIO 2019 are rolling out innovative biotech, life sciences and e-health products and services in the United States. We have arranged for several of these companies to participate in a four-day immersive bootcamp and to pitch at the European Commission pavilion at the convention. During SelectUSA Investment Summit (June 9-13), we are supporting tech companies and startups from all industries. We are co-organizing a pitch training class and a pitch competition in front of a jury of US investors and government funding agencies,” added EAEC President Sebastien Torre.
