Brussels South Charleroi BioPark (BSCB), the science-driven biopark at
the heart of Europe, has launched a Cell and Gene Therapy Accelerator program to de-risk early stage
research and create the advanced therapy companies of the future. With access to industry expertise and
scientific infrastructure plus up to €500,000 in funding per project, the Accelerator has been established to
de-risk research at the proof-of-concept stage. The financing comes from BSCB’s Butterfly Fund and regional
