About this event

Calling all Investors, Medical Device Innovators, Biotech Entrepreneurs, Academics, Students, and Life Sciences Industry Professionals:

Join the worldwide life sciences community online as the $200K Challenge finalists selected through a competitive process last spring receive their share of our $200,000 purse of sponsor-provided, in-kind resources that can help take an innovation to the next level -- or even to market!

JUST ANNOUNCED: $50K FROM MASS LIFE SCIENCES!

Examples of in-kind resources awarded in the Challenge include lab space, equipment, and legal/regulatory guidance. And at the Challenge Pitch-Off on September 17, Jennifer Griffin of Massachusetts Life Sciences Center announced a FIrst-Place award of $50,000 in non-dilutive funding. This is an unprecedented Challenge award that WILL be a difference-maker for the top winner.

We've seen past winners advance to larger funding rounds, commence clinical studies, and enter strategic partnerships with global life sciences companies. Join us as we announce this years winners!

TICKETS ARE FREE:

Awards Celebration — Thursday, October 1st @ 5pm ET

Join us for the announcement of the $200K Challenge winners!

Mary Ann Picard, M2D2 Director of Operations, commented on the Finalist selection process: “Every year, the Challenge gives us a peek at amazing early-stage ideas in medical devices, medtech, biotech, and therapeutics. It’s an all-consuming task to sort through dozens and dozens of entrants. But it’s also exciting and energizing because the entries are always novel and innovative."
