This year’s GIANT has launched a new conference track to explore how the future of health tech can be financed. Through discussion with the companies tackling today’s health moonshots, and the visionary investors financing them, we will look at how innovation can be accelerated. Bringing together the investment community with start-ups, scale-ups and innovators from across Europe and around the world we will talk about trends, products and business models and provide a productive space for meeting and collaborating.
