EXPO 6: Day 1 of Munich Summer Summit was dedicated to showcasing the outcomes of the pilots with our health startups
MUNICH, GERMANY. June 30th, 2021. Startup Creasphere celebrates EXPO 6 showcasing 14 successful pilot projects between the corporate partners Roche, Novo Nordisk and Biotronik and Batch 6 startups.
More than 200 participants enjoyed an afternoon filled with an inspirational keynote, startup pitches, and curated networking around digital health innovation. The program kicked off with a welcome by Frederike Rohr, Head of Startup Creasphere Global and Director of Plug and Play Munich from the rooftop of the Startup Creasphere office in Munich, followed by a keynote from Bart de Witte and Viktoria Prantauer from the Hippo.ai foundation. Viktoria’s ambition and her campaign within the NGO is to become the largest open data set to fight breast cancer. Their approach: building a global community network to improve diagnosis by aggregating, anonymizing and labeling data.
Keynote: Unite Data - Defeat Inequalities.
viktoriaonezero.org, a project by the Hippo AI Foundation, is an open database for the fight against breast cancer worldwide. And it all starts with Viktoria. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 and actively engaged in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), she asked herself how her experience and her data could be used in the battle against cancer.
Learn moreNext on the agenda were the pitches of three wildcard startups: Captiv8 (Social Media Data), HealthTap (Telehealth) and Syrona Health (Women’s Health). Startup Creasphere is very proud on the partnership with Novo Nordisk and Biotronik, two leaders in digital healthcare collaborating with our Batch startups in the fields of obesity and diabetes as well as patient consent management, patient compliance and lifecycle costs during Batch 6 of our pilot-driven digital health program. We were proud to have Matt Dugan, Director of the Innovation Garage at Novo Nordisk and Dr. Volker Lang, Senior Vice President R&D for Cardiac Rhythm Management at Biotronik, introducing the focus topics during our EXPO 6. Following the startup pitches presented by Novo Nordisk and Biotronik, Roche took over the stage.
Okan Ekinci, Head of Marketing & Innovation in Roche Information Services, kicked it off with his view on the value of open innovation for Roche. He highlighted the need to further drive adoption of digital health solutions in clinical routine by providing solutions that positively impact the patient journey and turn a theoretical value of a solution into a practical value for our customers. Underlining the huge potential of Startup Creasphere in this context and Roche’s ongoing commitment to the program, he handed over to the 8 startups who had worked on pilot projects with Roche in Batch 6.
