Unconference HealthTech 2025
On Monday, November 3rd, we’re hosting the HealthTech Unconference at Yes!Delft — an afternoon for and by entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, experts, and investors working on the future of healthcare.
This day is all about your ideas and input!
Not a standard event, but an Unconference: a gathering without a pre-set program. It’s a dynamic, interactive event where participants decide on the topics and shape how the sessions unfold. There’s plenty of room for open conversations, fresh ideas, and new connections.
Here’s a sneak peek at the engaging topics lined up for the break-out sessions:
- From claim to coverage: mini-clinic with the Dutch Healthcare Institute (ZIN) - Join Nicole Boluyt (ZIN medical advisor) and Roos Kolthof (ZIN MedTech advisor) in a practical reimbursement clinic. Sharpen your claim, fine-tune your evidence, and discover who you need to involve and when to maximize your chances of reimbursement.
- Crossing borders in MedTech -Join Sasja Heijman (InnovationQuarter) and Willem Mees van der Bijl (Spatium Medical) to discover strategies for entering international (healthcare) markets. Gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of global expansion.
- Impact financing - Take part in a peer-to-peer dialogue led by Stanleyson Hato (Invest-NL) on pricing, margins, and business models. Learn how to combine impact credibility with investability.
- Getting healthcare technology to work in practice - Martijn van der Giessen (Secuped) takes you through the challenges of integrating their technology into healthcare and, together with Helma Kaptein (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences), discover what really makes innovations take root in everyday healthcare practice.
- CAREful AI - Professor Jildau Bouwman (Leiden University, TNO) presents a nine-point framework for the responsible implementation of AI in healthcare. Join the discussion to see how and whether these principles work in (entrepreneurial) practice.
Are you working on medical technology or a digital healthcare solution? Then this is your chance to join the conversation, share your insights, or simply listen and learn. Together we’ll explore the most important themes and challenges in healthcare, while growing our networks.
