Bridge for impact

We would like to invite you to Bridge for impact!

An event dedicated to entrepreneurs in Life Sciences & Health.

Both LifeSciences@work and Zorginnovatie.nl (a similar entrepreneurship program within Health~Holland that focuses on entrepreneurs in Health and Care) organize various events to support entrepreneurs with the development of their business, such as the Venture Challenge, Nationale Zorginnovatieprijs and Health Impact Accelerator. Over the years, this has expanded to a very valuable network of entrepreneurs. We want to invite both of our networks together once a year, to learn from each other and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
