HealthTech Investor Summit (HIS) 2025
HealthTech Investor Summit
Connecting European HealthTech Entrepreneurs and Investors. The future lies at the crossroads of health and technology. This is a unique space, where healthtech, medtech, and digital solutions have the power to revolutionize people’s lives. 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.
Who should attend?
- European healthtech innovators looking to fund their great ideas: From pre-seed to scale-up, and medtech to digital applications – any company at the crossroads of health and tech is welcome!
- Investors looking for the next big healthtech star: From Europe or beyond, whether you’re from a family office, venture capitalist fund, or bank – come meet the rising stars of Europe’s health innovation!
- Clusters, companies, and organizations transforming healthcare: As a sponsor, knowledge partner, or event attendee, you can network, gain visibility, and help bring about the future of health!
