New Nordics Healthtech Matchmaking
The networking event New Nordics Healthtech Matchmaking was organised for the first time in 2024 at Terkko Health Hub. We brought together 100+ startups, R2B projects, spinouts, and entrepreneurs in health and life sciences, and showcased them to 100+ registered investors in the field.
We look forward to polishing the event concept during the upcoming year, and hope to attract an even larger number of participants in 2025.
