25 years - 11th Edition of BoB

aws BoB is a prestigious international competition in life sciences, designed to transform groundbreaking ideas into successful innovations. In 2025, BoB will celebrate its 11th round in a special 25th anniversary edition!

Participants will receive valuable feedback on their business ideas from experts with extensive knowledge in life sciences, patents, finance, and entrepreneurship. Finalists in each category will benefit from individual coaching to prepare for their final pitch in front of our top-class jury. 

BoB also provides participants with high visibility within the life science community and valuable networking opportunities. All participants are invited to attend the exclusive awards ceremony in Vienna.

BoB is open to students, researchers, and teams or individuals from around the world who aim to turn their ideas into businesses, as well as young start-ups up to 3 years old (founded after March 31, 2022).

These are this years' equal categories:

  • Best BioTech Ideator
  • Best Bio Tech Start up
  • Best Med Tech Ideator
  • Best Med Tech Start up

Who can participate:

Students, post-graduates, experienced scientists, and other creative individuals ready to transform a promising life science innovation into a business are encouraged to apply. BoB is open to individuals and teams from any country, with no differentiation in evaluation between Austrian and non-Austrian participants. All are equally welcome.

To be successful, you need a well-developed business idea that represents an innovation (not a me-too product).

Entities already incorporated are eligible as long as they were founded after March 31, 2022.

Participation in the competition and all related activities is free; however, participants are responsible for covering their own travel and lodging costs.

Open Science

Liebe ÖGMBT Mitglieder,

auf unserer Website gibt es zwei neue Beiträge zu Österreichs Forschung und Innovation, die sich gut als Lektüre fürs Wochenende eignen:

Mit Revo Foods stellen wir ein Wiener Start-Up vor, das seit 2021 pflanzliche Alternativen zu Fischprodukten entwickelt. Durch die Verwendung innovativer Proteinquellen in Kombination mit moderner 3D-Druck-Technologie setzt das Jungunternehmen neue Maßstäbe in der Herstellung von nachhaltigen Lebensmitteln.

Ein Forschungsteam der Veterinärmedizinischen Universität Wien konnte zeigen, dass das Alter der Oma die Lebenserwartung der Enkel beeinflusst: Bei Vögeln hatten die Enkel von älteren Großmüttern eine geringere Lebenserwartung. Grund dafür sind verkürzte Schutzstrukturen an den Enden der Chromosomen.

Neues aus dem Vienna Open Lab: Die Anmeldungen für die Sommerkurse zum Forschen und Experimentieren sind freigeschaltet! Und im Mai 2025 findet das kostenlose Spezialpraktikum "Abwasserlabor - Rohr frei" statt. Es richtet sich an Wiener Schüler:nnen der 4. Klasse Volksschule, Anmeldungen sind noch möglich.

Viel Spaß beim Lesen und Schmökern wünscht das Open Science Team!

Medizin - Mensch - Ernährung

Revo Foods: Veganer Lachs und Oktopus aus dem 3D-Drucker

Das Wiener Start-Up Revo Foods entwickelt seit 2021 pflanzliche Alternativen zu Fischprodukten. Durch die Verwendung innovativer 3D-Druck-Technologie setzt das Unternehmen neue Maßstäbe in der Herstellung von nachhaltigen Lebensmitteln.

Wie das Alter der Oma die Lebenserwartung der Enkel beeinflusst

Ein Forschungsteam der Veterinärmedizinischen Universität Wien konnte zeigen, dass sich bei Vögeln ein hohes Alter der Großmütter negativ auf die Lebenserwartung ihrer Enkel auswirkt. Grund dafür sind verkürzte Schutzstrukturen an den Enden der Chromosomen.

Über Grenzen hinaus: Frauen in der Spitzenforschung

Wie können Frauen ihr Potenzial in der Forschung voll entfalten und welche spezielle Rolle spielt dabei Forschungserfahrung im Ausland? Das haben wir zum Internationalen Tag der Frauen und Mädchen in der Wissenschaft am 11. Februar FWF-geförderte Forscherinnen gefragt.
 
Die Wissenschaftlerinnen Cornelia von Baeckmann, Elisabeth Salomon und Isabelle Zink gewähren vor der Kamera spannende Einblicke in ihre Karrierewege. Sie berichten über ihre Herausforderungen und Erfolge sowie darüber, wie Auslandserfahrungen ihre wissenschaftliche Entwicklung geprägt haben.

Alle drei sind Erwin-Schrödinger-Auslandsstipendiatinnen und heben im Rahmen des
40-jährigen Jubiläums dieses Programms insbesondere die Bedeutung ihrer internationalen Forschungserfahrungen für ihre wissenschaftliche Laufbahn hervor.

Cornelia von Baeckmann forscht an der Technischen Universität Wien an porösen metallorganischen Materialien für biomedizinische und umweltrelevante Anwendungen. Ihre Neugier und der Wunsch, kreative Lösungen für komplexe Probleme zu finden, treiben sie an. Auslandserfahrungen wie am Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Barcelona (Spanien) sind für sie essenziell, um neue Perspektiven zu entwickeln.

Elisabeth Salomon widmet sich der Brustbildgebung mit ionisierender Strahlung, um die Qualitätssicherung und Patient:innensicherheit nachhaltig zu verbessern. Ihre Forschungserfahrung an der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig (Deutschland) im Rahmen des Erwin-Schrödinger-Stipendiums empfindet sie als besonders bereichernd.

Isabelle Zink erforscht an der Universität Wien das Immunsystem von Mikroorganismen, insbesondere das Argonaute-System. Ihr Aufenthalt an der Wageningen University (Niederlande) markierte einen Meilenstein in ihrer Karriere. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen nutzt sie für ihre nächsten Schritte als angehende Gruppenleiterin.

Mehr über diese inspirierenden Geschichten von Cornelia von Baeckmann, Elisabeth Salomon und Isabelle Zink erfahren Sie in unserer Social-Media-Kampagne zum Internationalen Tag der Frauen und Mädchen in der Wissenschaft auf unseren Social-Media-Kanälen Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn und YouTube.

FWF-Karriereförderung für die Spitzenforschung

Der FWF unterstützt Forscher:innen mit speziellen Programmen zur Karriereentwicklung und setzt gezielt Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Chancengleichheit. Dabei liegt ein besonderer Fokus auf der Unterstützung von Wissenschaftlerinnen. Zu den Förderangeboten der FWF-Karriereprogramme wie Erwin Schrödinger, ESPRIT oder FWF-ASTRA-Preise gehören unter anderem Vernetzungstreffen für Projektleiterinnen zum Austausch über relevante Themen des Forschungsalltags sowie finanzielle Unterstützung für Kinderbetreuung, um die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie zu erleichtern.

 

 

 

In Zusammenarbeit mit LISA – Life Science Austria - sowie weiteren Clustern aus den Bundesländern wurde der Fragenbogen entwickelt, um den aktuellen Stand der Circular Economy (Kreislaufwirtschaft) in Unternehmen des Life-Science- und Medizintechnik-Sektors zu erfassen.

Ziel ist es, Einblicke in die Herausforderungen, Entwicklungen und Potenziale der Branche in Bezug auf nachhaltige Wirtschaftskreisläufe zu gewinnen. Die Ergebnisse dienen als Grundlage für die Trendthemenkampagne 2024/25.

Die gesammelten Erkenntnisse werden im Rahmen des Austrian Life Science Day 2025 in Linz präsentiert und sollen dazu beitragen, den Weg hin zu einer nachhaltigeren Wirtschaftsweise zu ebne
