2024 VentureLab Health Innovation Weekend
Have a health tech idea but not sure where to start? Then this is a perfect thing for you! The 2024 VentureLab Weekend is your 3-day crash course for turning that innovative idea into a business.
From 8–10 November, De Loods in Groningen transforms into a health innovation hub! Together with other entrepreneurial students and researchers, you'll pitch, refine, and develop your ideas with the help of expert coaches and trainers (yes, we’re talking about tailored experts that can give you all their insights).
It’s going to be three days of hands-on learning, creativity, and—let’s be real—a lot of fun! Interested? Keep reading, it gets even better!
What’s the Game Plan?
Pitch and collaborate: Day 1 is all about sharing your health tech concept or teaming up with others to work on theirs.
Get mentorship and support: Over three days, work with expert coaches and trainers to refine your ideas, improve your business model, and perfect your pitching skills.
Grab cool prizes: Compete for the best pitch in front of an experienced jury and win up to €500!
More Than Just Business
