#HIP613: Startup Success Stories Panel

March 14, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$10

What does it take to turn an idea into a success story?

Success stories don’t come easily, it requires many and many hours of development until you have the solution that meets real needs! Join us Wednesday, March 14 from 6 PM to 9 PM at Impact Hub for an inspirational night as we listen to passionate leaders obsessed with helping solutions to help hospitals and clinics deliver better care to patients.

At this event, we are fortunate to have #HIP613 Graduates speak about their journey at last year’s program. We will also get to hear from some more seasoned entrepreneurs here in Ottawa. We will get the opportunity to learn to their experiences, lessons learnt and guidance on how you can succeed at the Hackathon in April.

This cafe is part of the 2018 Health Innovation Program (#HIP613) that aims to break down the barriers to healthcare innovation.

  3. Grab the attention of experts, researchers and mentors who can assist you along your journey.
