Beyond remission: deep healing in autoimmune disease

Treatment of chronic inflammatory disease has advanced from symptom management to disease control, yet many patients still face incomplete responses, relapse, and treatment dependence. Subclinical inflammation and tissue injury often persist—driving cumulative damage and impacting patients’ quality of life.

J&J invites you to an event focused on the next paradigm shift: moving beyond inflammation control to enable “deep healing,” where tissue structure, barrier integrity, and homeostatic set points are restored to support durable, meaningful outcomes for patients.

While controlling inflammation aids healing, deeper recovery requires more than just anti-inflammatory approaches. Complementary pathways with a direct role in repair are needed to promote sustained and durable remission. Several emerging areas of biology focused on restoration of epithelial barriers and/or modulation of peripheral neuro-immune signaling pathways, are emerging as novel opportunities.

Join us in Brussels or virtually to discuss promising innovations in this field and how we might collaborate across the European life sciences ecosystem to bring these innovations to patients.

The program is tailored to academic innovators and startups in autoimmune disease who are interested in collaborative opportunities related to repair in chronic inflammatory conditions including gut, skin, lung and rheumatic conditions. We also welcome VCs, TTOs, and incubators with a portfolio of innovators or startups.

Patent searching: how unique is my idea?

If we invited you to sift through more than 160 million patent publications, you would probably give up quickly. But what if we told you that the knowledge contained in patent publications can save you time and money in your innovation process? In this workshop, you will take your first steps in assessing the novelty of your idea and in determining whether you risk infringing on other people’s patents.

But you will learn more than that. Patent databases are a source of inspiration: you can extract a lot from them, such as information about new technologies and information about competitors. These databases can also help you assess the novelty of your invention and give you an indication of whether you may be infringing on other people’s patents (Freedom-to-Operate), before you decide to apply for a patent. Freedom-to-Operate will also definitely come up when you speak with investors. Part of this information can be retrieved yourself from Espacenet, the patent database you will be working with in this workshop.

This workshop is part of The Gate Academy and is taught by Rienk Rienksma and Paul Simons, Intellectual Property Advisors at the Netherlands Patent Office.

Due to the practical exercises, you will need your own laptop or tablet with a large screen to participate.

The course language is English.

For investors

The BANN is a network of 80+ investors interested in health and hightech sectors. Of these usually around 20 investors are present during the meetings. Before the meeting you will receive information about the startups to determine if a visit is justified. Beside the investment opportunities the BANN is also a social gathering including plenty of opportunity to network with other angels during dinner.

Workshop Cybersecurity: Protect what makes your startup valuable

Your startup’s value isn’t just your product. It’s your data, your IP, and the trust you build along the way. And the reality? That value can disappear faster than you think.

Join us for an interactive cybersecurity workshop where you’ll experience first hand how vulnerabilities emerge and, more importantly, how to stay ahead of them.

In this session, you will:

  • Understand the real business impact of downtime and disruption
  • Identify your “crown jewels” and where they are most exposed
  • Discover why identity has become your true security perimeter
  • Uncover hidden risks in everyday tools like Slack, GitHub, and Google Drive
  • Learn how joiner, mover, and leaver processes quietly create security gaps
  • Test your readiness for investor cybersecurity due diligence
  • See your live cyber maturity score across key domains
  • Explore realistic attack scenarios such as phishing, token abuse, and IP leakage

You’ll leave with practical quick wins and a clear, actionable roadmap to strengthen your security without slowing down your growth. So don’t miss out! Join us on May 12!

Provisioned helps organizations work securely, efficiently, and future-ready with a strong focus on the Microsoft ecosystem. With a personal and proactive approach, we take full ownership of IT — from modern workplaces and cybersecurity to cloud, connectivity, and support — so our clients can focus on growth instead of IT complexity.
