In response to highly successful events in over the past six years, Insight Innovation Center – Chicago, formally Insight Product Development, MATTER, and the iBIO Institute are co-hosting the seventh annual HealthTECH Startup Competition on November 14th, 2019. This year our team of judges will select ten leading early-stage medical device and digital health startup finalists from the Midwest to compete for $50,000 in cash and prizes.

Upon the final application deadline on October 13th, twenty startup competitors will be selected by a judging panel comprised of leaders from global corporations, academia, investors and community health organizations. During the second and final round of vetting, the judges will identify the ten finalists that will present live at the HealthTECH Startup Competition in November. On the merit of their live pitches, jurors will award cash and prizes to the top three startups. In addition to the first, second and third place prizes, we are instituting a fourth winning category — the People’s Choice Award — that will be given to the group with the most votes on Twitter.
