Hospitals are opening up to innovation and turning to SMEs to procure smart, adaptable and user-friendly technologies. The VII eHealth Roadshow @EAHM brings your digital health company and hospital representatives together, offering you an ideal platform to discover new business opportunities.
The VII eHealth Roadshow is a free service aiming at building capacities and promoting an entrepreneurial spirit in European eHealth SMEs. It’s an on-site public session within the 27th EAHM Congress, in which a number of promising and innovative SMEs have the opportunity to expose their digital health solutions in short pitch presentations. Each presentation is followed by a Q&A session with direct involvement of an expert committee of key stakeholders from the European hospital and eHealth market. Therefore, the eHealth Roadshow offers a targeted and small scale on-site “mentoring” by high calibre stakeholders.
Interested companies need to apply online and read the Guide for Successful Pitching. Each application will be carefully reviewed and the most promising companies will be invited to pitch at the VII eHealth Roadshow in Cascais, Portugal.
