PIHC Matchmaking event
Within the Pioneers in Health Care (PIHC) Innovation Fund, the University of Twente, Saxion, Medisch Spectrum Twente, ZiekenhuisGroep Twente and Deventer Hospital together with Reggeborgh Medical have a mutual goal: faster introduction of innovative technology in clinical practice. The Pioneers in Healthcare Innovation Fund pioneers both by developing new technology for clinical problems, and by exploring the possibilities to use existing technology for new medical applications.
On Tuesday 19 September 2023, from 17:15-19:45, we will organize the PIHC Matchmaking event at the TechMed Centre. This year we will date live, giving researchers and clinicians the opportunity to find a partner to turn their idea into a PIHC2023 proposal. There will be plenty of opportunity for networking: we will prepare a ‘who is who booklet’, organize a speed date session, and ‘meet and eat’. Winners from PIHC vouchers of previous years will share their first results and show prototypes. They might share their tips to improve your chances of finding the right partner, write a great proposal, and win a voucher to start your collaboration. This event might not only result in inspirational new project proposals for the PIHC call 2023, but also in long-lasting collaborations, additional funding and clinical impact.
