Quickfire Sessions and Live Pitch at HIHR

From October 6 to 10, the Quickfire Sessions of our strategic partner HIHR took place, a week full of inspiring pitches from innovative startups in healthcare. Arnold & Siedsma was well represented by Fokko Smakman, Nick Landman, Sara Reekmans, and Bram Janssen, who participated in various sessions on our behalf.  

Bram attended the physical event on October 15 in Rotterdam, during the Live Pitch Session in which the selected startups presented their plans to a wider audience and a panel of investors. 

It was a great opportunity to connect with investors and TTO’s within the BeNeLux but especially with enthusiastic entrepreneurs who are working on the future of healthcare and to contribute ideas about their growth potential from an IP perspective.
