Brains helping brains and scientists funding scientists. Can decentralized science enhance the biotech funding landscape?
Panel discussion summary

Decentralized funding and decentralized science are a powerful combination that is democratizing the funding and science aspects of the risky but sometimes rewarding investments in new medicines for unmet medical needs. While IP ownership is regulated in a classical manner, IP-NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) allow for limited licensing to buyers. Smart contracting through the blockchain adds to automation of transfer of ownership and licensing. Typically, IP-NFT token owners are also directly involved in the voting of projects. The latter has clear advantages over the traditional top-down decision-making in corporate structures.
