Sports & HealthTech Meetup

We're back! And we're kicking off our post-Covid initiatives with a new meetup in collaboration with the BlueHealth Innovation Center! What will it be about? 👇

Health and Sports go hand in hand. Also in the world of technology. But where do these interfaces lie and how do they reinforce each other? What can we learn from sports to help people live longer healthy lives?

Around this theme, we would like to invite you to De Krook in Ghent on Tuesday, April 19 from 6 PM for an evening full of insights and great people.

We will listen to a number of motivated startups & experts. Then we'll let some fascinating speakers from the field loose on you in short 'talks about Sports & HealthTech'.

Here they'll try to answer the following questions:

• How important is sports in a healthy lifestyle and disease prevention context?
• Sports and health care: are they really going hand in hand?
• What is there to find at the intersection of Digital Health, MedTech and SportTech?

Finally, we will talk to a number of entrepreneurs and we would also like to hear your questions during the Q&A. Get inspired by the experiences of these driven entrepreneurs!

And of course, we welcome you afterwards in the Krookcafé for a snack and a drink.
