Within the Pioneers in Healthcare (PIHC) Innovation Fund, the University of Twente, Saxion, Medisch Spectrum Twente, ZiekenhuisGroep Twente and Deventer Hospital have a mutual goal: faster introduction of innovative technology in clinical practice. The Pioneers in Healthcare Innovation Fund pioneers both by developing new technology for clinical challenges, and by exploring the possibilities to use existing technology for new medical applications.
Will your technology help overcome limitations in current healthcare? Join us to ‘eat and meet’ during the Pioneers in Healthcare Matchmaking event on Thursday 10 September, from 17:15-19:45 at the TechMed Centre. Meet researchers of the UT and Saxion and clinicians of MST, ZGT and Deventer Hospital and listen to pitches with inspiring results or new ideas. Find your partners to turn your idea into a PIHC2026 research proposal.
There will be plenty of opportunity for networking during the meet and eat. This event might not only result in inspirational new project proposals for the PIHC call 2026, but also in long-lasting collaborations, additional funding and clinical impact.
