DataForHealth 2017, taking place on the 17-18 of May in Antwerp, Belgium, is showcasing 24 emerging companies who develop converging tech solutions for health using digital data, healthtech and insurtech technologies.

The event falls under the umbrella of the European Venture Contest (EVC), one of 15 qualifying events in which presenting CEOs participate in reverse pitches and use case scenarios and then receive feedback from an expert jury of investors and industry experts in the 3 converging fields. CEOs will then present their companies to top European VCs and international corporate investors during the forum and the top 25% of CEOs will qualify to attend the European Venture Contest Final which regroups the top quartile of presenters from each EVC event at the end of 2017.

DataForHealth also welcomes the following confirmed panellists, speakers and use case challenges:

  • Opening speech by Caroline Bastiaens (City of Antwerp)
  • Health Data: Landscape and Trends panel discussion moderated by Marc Sluijs (DIGITALHEALTH.NETWORK) including Sebastian Judez (AXA Group), Katrin Geyskens (Capricorn Venture Partners NV), Axel Polack (Joint Polish Investment Fund), and Filip Vandanne (Volta Ventures)
  • Thought Leadership speeches by David Dessers (Cresco), Peter Cuipers (IBM Switzerland), and Stefan Wijnen (Microsoft Research Lab)
  • Welcome address by David Dessers (Creso)
  • Speech by Hilja Ilbert (miDIAGNOSTICS)
  • Closing speech by the Flemish Minister of Welfare, Public Health and Family, Mr. Jo Vandeurzen

  • Use case challenge: How can technology make a meaningful difference to people living with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, immunology and bone? Moderated by Pete Dedeken (UCB)

The event is a proven and tested format by Tech Tour that has been connecting innovative entrepreneurs with venture capital and corporate investors since 1998.
