I gained valuable new perspectives on entrepreneurship and business within Healthtech. Exciting encounters and fresh insights emerge when entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers come together over the course of a day.
— Ann-Charlotte Beckman, Life Science Invest
Pitch Your Business
On day two, selected companies will have the opportunity to present their business ideas to a panel of investors. If you are interested in participating in the company pitch, please register your interest when you sign up and we will get back to you.
For HealthTech companies to be selected to pitch, they should meet the following criteria:
- Working with health data and having a product or service already on the market or planning a market launch within the current year.
- Having initiated an international scaling process or planning to do so in the near future.
- Currently conducting a funding round or seeking external growth capital within the current year.
Deadline for pitch submissions: 4 May
It was incredibly exciting to be part of last year's meeting, where much of the value lay in being pushed outside of one's usual patterns of thought. New ideas are often born at the intersection of different areas of knowledge when broadening one's horizons together.
