Our Events

Twice a year, HIHR organises a pitch and networking event for investment opportunities in Human Health. (Future) Spin-off companies that are seeking their first external venture funding or very early stage projects that would like to receive feedback on their ideas from experienced investors or entrepreneurs are welcome to apply for a seat. 
Find more information about our pitch event and Quickfire sessions via the links. 

HIHR also offers free lunch webinars, where experts in the field of legal, finance, business development and other requested topics share their insights.
From 2025 onwards the webinars are integrated in the preparatory process of the pitch- and Quickfire sessions. We strongly encourage participating teammembers to join these online sessions.
