We hope you are safe and doing well during this highly challenging time. We are very pleased to announce the new KSEA event named “Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Partners’ Upscale Program (STEP-UP)” that is aimed to promote and enrich the KSEA members’ entrepreneurship & partnership and to discuss the success of innovative ventures, especially in the fields of biotech and healthcare.

The STEP-UP event was originally planned for May 8~10, 2020 in Baltimore, Maryland, but was postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the STEP-UP comes to us in the online/offline hybrid format for four days on September 21~24, 2020. Seats for the in-person participation are limited and mainly for those who live on a driving distance to Baltimore, MD and the majority of the audience are expected to attend the event virtually. Taking the advantage of the online event, we hope you all can make the STEP-UP to learn and discuss exiting subjects for your future.

The important information below is in the US Eastern time (EDT).
