BTIP Investor & Startup Pavilion / Program preview
Connect the technology with the people who can help develop it
The pavilion program concept brings founders, investors, clinicians and corporate partners into focused conversations about evidence, adoption and commercialization.
A useful next step for each founder
A startup arrives with a development obstacle. Expert feedback, relevant demonstrations and investor conversations help define the next action. Written action plans and 30- and 90-day follow-up form the continuation of the program concept.
For partners, this creates a role beyond exhibition: contribute a clinical challenge, explain a corporate partnership priority, host an office-hour conversation, or introduce a tool that helps a founder move forward.
