EIT Health

Pitch Day! is the closing event of the EIT Health Medtech Validation Lab of YES! Delft. During 8 weeks, 17 medical start-ups from Europe were intensively coached by a team of experts to prepare their innovation for the market. Pitch Day! is the opportunity for these entrepreneurs to share their innovation with a broad audience. A jury of experts eventually chose a winner.

The same level of professionalism

This year EIT Health wanted the same level of professionalism as they normally have during their annual pitch day, the only difference being it would be online. Together with Online Seminar, the organization came up with a television-like format. The pitches were recorded in advance and during the two-hour broadcast the participants received real-time questions from the jury.

'Our goal is to achieve the highest possible reach for our start-ups. Because there is also an ondemand version of the program, that reach only increases. In fact, the reach has never been as high as this year.'
Claire Visser, program manager

International reach

The virtual version of Pitch Day! had the added advantage that the program could be viewed all over the world. Because there was also an ondemand version of the program, the reach only increased. In fact, the reach has never been as high as last year's. Eventually they have succeeded in bringing the start-ups into contact with potential customers and investors.
