about the o2h kickstarter

The o2h kickstarter competition has been designed to provide a chemistry boost to small molecule focused biotechnology companies who have raised some initial funding and are in need to supercharge their chemistry efforts to meet their next funding milestone. Winners of this competition will receive a dedicated team of chemists and end to end project management support to generate chemical matter of their interest to meet their project milestones.

Over the past 20 years, o2h discovery has established collaborations with numerous early-stage biotech companies around the world including many European early stage biotechs. The Italian biotechnology industry is renowned for its high innovation and rapid growth, focusing on research in areas such as vaccines, healthcare, along with agriculture.
