FiresideChat - Building Trust & Scaling in HealthTech: From Pilot to Profit
Your innovative solution may be ready — but is the market?
Every founder in health, pharma, and longevity knows this: the real challenge isn’t the technology — it’s securing institutional trust, mastering the 12-month sales cycle, and structuring the business for exponential scale.
On November 26th, starting at 16:30, join a session that reveals how to scale from a single pilot to a sustainable, cross-border healthtech enterprise.
We’re bringing together four visionary founders who will share the unfiltered realities and hard-won playbooks of commercialization, regulatory navigation, and investor readiness in healthcare.
The event marks the conclusion of the Founders’ Bootcamp within the Rubik Garage: Future of HealthTech Accelerator, supporting 20+ startups across Italy and Europe building the future of health, pharma, and longevity.
