Case Study

From pitch to partnership:
Calla Lily Clinical Care × Merck KGaA

In October 2024, Calla Lily Clinical Care pitched directly to Merck KGaA's senior leadership through W Accelerate. That conversation led to Calla Lily’s first industry partnership: a strategic collaboration to advance its intravaginal drug delivery platform across fertility, oncology and hormone therapies.

Testimonials

The accelerator events brought strong, relevant innovators and enabled efficient, focused engagement, resulting in concrete partnerships and a network of promising contacts we continue to build.

Margaux Bruneau de la Salle
Associate Director, Global Business Development at Merck KGaA

Our W Accelerate partnership saved us a lot of time and resources. It really helped us speed up our search for valuable partnerships.

Sebastian Bohl
VP Healthcare Innovation & Business Excellence, Merck

The W Group created a rare opportunity for us to pitch directly to senior leadership at Merck and M Ventures. The event was executed with exceptional care and attention to detail. The mix of formal and informal engagement throughout the day sparked the conversations that became the foundation of relationships leading to our eventual strategic collaboration with Merck. I've yet to see another event run with this level of excellence.
