Radboudumc Investmentday 2024

Book your seats for the fourth edition of Radboudumc Investment Day 2023 on October 9 in Nijmegen! Jointly organized by Radboudumc, Radboud University, Briskr and Oost NL, the Investment Day is a matchmaking event for investors, entrepreneurs and top researchers in the life sciences & health domain. It is a unique opportunity to gain new business contacts and talk about the potential value of research & innovation with industry experts.

Connecting people
Our main goal for the event is to enable attendees to connect with each other. For this purpose, the event utilizes a matchmaking platform for setting up 1-to-1 meetings and offers several parallel sessions from top researchers, promising startups and investors. This will allow participants to pick & mix presentations to their liking and reserve time for targeted 1-to-1 meetings in between and during the program.

Our speakers
We have an exciting line-up of speakers ready to share their experience in bringing science to the market. Come and listen to:
