Dear Healthcare Innovators, Industry Leaders and Investors,
With its world-class healthcare and vibrant start-up scene, the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region ranks among the world’s top five locations for the healthcare industry. To remain a leader in the face of global competition in the years to come, far-reaching reforms, networking and the courage to innovate are required. Under the theme:
“From Vision to Value – Working Together Towards a European Healthcare Metropolis”
the fourth Healthcare Innovators Bridge is sending a strong signal in favour of innovation-friendly healthcare policy. It is based on the 10-point plan of the European Healthcare Metropolis initiative – ranging from hospitals as innovation platforms and the reduction of red tape to a health data strategy. Once again, we are bringing together industry players, start-ups, investors and institutions to drive forward joint implementation.
A key highlight is our panel discussion with representatives from the four democratic parties in the Berlin House of Representatives. Together with:
Tuba Bozkurt (Alliance 90/The Greens) – Member of the Berlin House of Representatives and Spokesperson for Industry & the Digital Economy
Henry Marx (SPD) – State Secretary for Science
Tobias Schulze (Die Linke) – Parliamentary Group Leader and Spokesperson for Science
Christian Zander (CDU) – Member of the House of Representatives
we will discuss the practical challenges: how do we create the framework conditions that start-ups and research need right now? You can also look forward to a forward-looking keynote speech by healthcare and clinical expert Francesco de Meo.
Of course, pitches from innovative healthcare start-ups are a must. Their solutions directly contribute to the 10-point plan and make our metropolitan region more competitive on the international stage. The teams will be pitching for a jury and audience prize, as well as for visibility and networking opportunities.
Afterwards, we invite you to a networking session with food and drinks – for fresh inspiration, valuable contacts and shared ideas at the intersection of business, science, healthcare and politics.
Be part of it and register now for this forward-looking event!
We look forward to seeing you there!
The organising team from
Gesundheitsstadt Berlin, Berliner Sparkasse and BACB e.V.
