About the HealthTech Investor Summit

We believe the future lies at the crossroads of health and technology

 

There are unique opportunities at this intersection of health and tech. The space is diverse, encompassing many forms of technologies, including healthtech, medtech, and digital solutions.

These new tools combining health and tech have the power to revolutionize people’s lives.

But the European healthtech ecosystem is young and faces steep challenges. Whether start-up or scale-up, companies are struggle with funding, regulations, and more. Which is why we need this Summit.

"The HealthTech Investor Summit is the first European event dedicated to uniting healthtech companies with the investors, clusters and mentors they need to succeed."
Henk Joos
Biovia

This is the first event to welcome all different technologies with the potential to improve health. It’s about the aim, not the type of tech – the goal is to promote genuinely novel approaches dramatically improving the lives of patients and healthcare providers.

We provide a platform for showcasing Europe’s finest healthtech innovations, where companies can find the funding and expert advice they need to grow their ideas into market-ready products and make a real difference to people around the world!

Innovation is a collaborative endeavor - it requires entrepreneurs and funders, but also input from patients and healthcare providers.

For too long, health innovation has been a top-down industry. We aim to turn that model on its head, instead promoting patient-centric innovation, where patients and healthcare providers help drive the development of new technologies based on their needs and are actively involved in the innovation process.

Biovia is the Flemish innovation cluster paving the way to better health.

Biovia organizes the HealthTech Investor Summit with the support of Sponsors and Knowledge Partners from around Europe. 

The aim is clear: to grow a stronger pan-European healthtech industry and, ultimately, to change the world for the better. It’s not only about funding individual innovations – it’s about having everyone in the room working together to achieve real change to the system.

How will we revolutionize healthcare?

By joining forces with people looking for more than profit. This Summit is an essential event for healthtech entrepreneurs, investors, and clusters wanting to connect with others working to strengthen Europe’s health innovation and achieve real patient impact!

Together, we can transform the future of health through technology!
