Programme Overview:
Applications received have been assessed by a small panel of assessors with relevant technical and commercial expertise. The panel has selected 13 applicants who are currently participating in the virtual Pitch Training.
Following the virtual Pitching Training, applicants will put what they've learnt to practice and will pitch in front of a small panel, who will provide advice to improve the pitch and select a limited number of companies to proceed to the online investment showcase which will take place on
30 March 2022. They will present their company overview, plus their request and need for funding in an 8-minute virtual “pitch” at the online investor pitching session.
If you are a health or life science investor and would like to attend the online showcasse event on 30 March then please email
