This is a local medtech conference held since 2014 that runs bi-annually with three sessions; Clinical, Technical, and Corporate. Venue: Main Lund hospital auditorium.

An event in two parts, aiming to bring innovators closer to market. In the first, established entrepreneurs present their corporate journey. In the second part, innovators pitch their ideas to a panel of experts in financing, regulatory, patenting etc.
