Join EIC ePitching and Discover Innovative Solutions to Fight COVID-19

The European Innovation Council is organising an ePitching event on 30 April 2020 to connect public and private procurers from the health sector with EIC-funded companies providing medical supply (e.g. personal protective garments, medication, test kits, respiratory machinery…) and innovative technologies (e.g. tele-medicine, remote solutions, artificial intelligence for data analysis and prediction, supply chain management, logistics…) as a solution to COVID-19. 

Are you a hospital or a public or private healthcare procurer? Have a look at the agenda and register now by sending an e-mail by 29 April 2020. A call for EIC-funded companies who want to pitch to the procurers, was open until 17 April.

In order to best serve your needs it is kindly asked to list your needs so that the small companies whose innovations best fit your needs will be selected.

Objective 

The EIC Business Acceleration Services organise this ePitching event on 30 April 2020 in order to connect public and private procurers from the health sector with EIC-backed SMEs. The aim is to gather at least 10 European healthcare procurers with 20 to 40 EIC-funded companies depending on procurers' needs and the challenges identified. The EIC-funded companies will be selected on the basis of procurers' needs for innovative solutions in all forms in facing COVID19.

These can be for example:

  1. Medical devices supply chain and logistics management: EIC companies with medical devices to help the COVID19 outbreak
  2. Biotechnology / Health - Drugs, antimicrobials: EIC beneficiaries exploring new antimicrobials and drugs to tackle new virus
  3. Tools for Prediction & stopping the spread of new diseases: EIC innovations working in the contagion phenomena 

How can public & private health and hospitals apply? 

Send an email to register and express your needs in the collection sheet (excel document) by 29 April COB. You will then be contacted on the way forward.
