'Health & Tech Connect' networking event

Accelerating Technological Innovation in Health and Care Together

Innovation happens where medicine and technology meet. That is why the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FGE) and the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (FEA) are joining forces for a unique networking event.

For health professionals: discover how technology can support your clinical practice and improve patient care.
For (bio)medical researchers: meet technological and clinical experts who can enhance and accelerate your research.
For technical experts (engineers, designers, developers): learn how your expertise can lead to medical innovations with real impact.

During the event, you will see inspiring pitches of concrete collaborations and a keynote by dr. ir. Danaë Delbeke (Indigo Diabetes) on how academic research can evolve into a successful spin-off. The evening continues with a networking reception with refreshments, giving you the chance to make new connections and exchange ideas.

Be sure to mark this event in your calendar. Detailed programme and possibility to register will be available from November 2025.
