Innovation Hub
The SEQENS’Lab is therefore aiming at creating a fertile environment by :
- Fostering a collaborative atmosphere that allows thought-sharing and creative exchange
- Offering best-in-class infrastructure to enable the unfettered practice of science
- Promoting cost efficiencies through sharing of many services such as permitting, purchasing, maintenance, IT, and security
- Anticipating needs for entrepreneurs in order to provide the smoothest possible path to growth
- Creating an innovation ecosystem that fosters collegial interactions among industry, investors, government, and academia
An ecosystem of start-ups incubation
In addition to hosting strategic partners (GenEvolutioN, Harmonic Pharma, Cromaoak) and the Hit Cat Center which are providing complementary services for Drug Substance development, the SEQENS’Lab offers shared lab space for lease for life science, biotech and Medtech startups right next to Paris providing fully equipped laboratories, coworking offices, and a range of services and amenities.
The SEQENS’Lab provides month to month, fully functional lab space, permits, waste handling, plus all reasonably common lab equipment for bioresearch and development. Access to conference rooms, event space, and kitchens is also included. In addition, the SEQENS’Lab hosts a large amount of programming specific to the interests of life-sciences startups.
