What is the GOe2CONNECT – Clinical Innovation Forum?
Where clinical needs meet innovation and industry.
The Clinical Innovation Forum creates a platform where clinical insights meet scientific discovery and entrepreneurial ambition. The Forum brings together leading voices from medicine, life sciences, startups, and industry to explore how innovation can address today’s most pressing healthcare challenges since transforming healthcare requires more than scientific excellence alone to turn unmet medical needs into impactful solutions.
One challenge. Three perspectives. New solutions.
Each event brings three perspectives to the table: clinical practice, innovative solutions, and industry expertise.
How does it work?
Each event focuses on a specific medical challenge, disease area, or field of research identified by a university hospital. Together with its partners, GOe FUTURE identifies a startup, project team, or technology working on, or with the potential to address, this challenge. An industry partner adds expertise in development, market access, and implementation.
In a panel discussion in front of a live audience, the three stakeholders explore where clinical needs, innovation, and industrial implementation can come together. The event concludes with a get-together, providing space for personal exchange, new connections, and potential collaborations.
