Funding for Healthcare Startups - a year later
Details
Last year Health 2.0 Berlin held an
event about funding for healthcare startups (https://www.meetup.com/BerlinHealth20/events/152615392/)
. A year later, we are having a follow-up meetup exploring how digital health investments have developed in Berlin.
With some new players on the panel and some participants from last years funding event, we will hear what has happened this far, what great new things are going on now and what is planned for the future. And of course there will be plenty of time for you to ask your questions.
