Impressions / Recap

Not only the jury members were impressed by the many innovative and forward-looking developments, but also the representatives of the other clinics present.

"Wow, what great start-ups, mega digital health products and super-motivated founders! And congratulations to QUMEA on winning the pitch prize!” said Dr. Hannah Schlott from Mannheim University Hospital.

"The event is incredibly exciting for Cliniserve, but also for me personally. The personal atmosphere creates a great basis for intensive exchange, the format allows a focus on the essentials and the organization ensures a stress-free process. We are delighted to be part of it!” says Magali Heinkel from Cliniserve.

One highlight was certainly the passionate keynote speech by Dr. Hannah Schlott, UMM INSPIRE Living Lab, on collaboration with start-ups in the clinical environment.

It was great to see so many inspiring players having lively discussions about rethinking the usual ways of providing care. This shows once again how important it is to exchange ideas in order to bring innovative solutions to the healthcare system.
