Moderated by Roberto Ascione, CEO of Healthware International (Italy) and Dr. Vishal Gulati, Venture Partner at Draper Esprit plc (UK), EC2VC is the leading investors’ forum and pitch competition, offering high-quality networking opportunities between leading startups and the most active European investors in digital health.
The event attracted a lot of attention: over 50 digital health investors confirmed their participation and 57 European SMEs actively looking for funding applied to the EC2VC call. 13 made it on the final list.
“We were impressed with the response from SMEs and investors alike. EC2VC is really the first event in Europe to attract such an important group of investors that are very focused on in digital health. And obviously the word is out. Now we look forward to creating some sparks at the live pitching competition!” declared Pascal Lardier, édito’s Principal.
