It was a great event! I had the chance to meet interesting people and had many good conversations. The speed dating was very well organized and was a real pleasure.
Small talk isn’t everyone’s favorite discipline and it doesn’t have to be. At Unplugged, we don’t leave our participants to fend for themselves; instead, we actively support them through our structured speed‑dating format. In this core element of the event, startups, investors, health insurance providers, and established companies meet directly in short, highly focused sessions.
We ensure that these interactions are efficient, targeted, and well‑structured. With clear processes, prepared matching mechanisms, and guided moderation, we help participants make their first meaningful connection. This format creates genuine relationships in a very short time – the moment where ideas turn into collaborations.
SATELLITE EVENTS – EXCLUSIVE INSIGHTS
Another highlight of the event are our SatelliteEvents, which take place in the morning at selected partner companies. They offer start-ups and innovators the opportunity to connect directly with experts from established organizations, learn from one another, and gain new perspectives. The format was introduced for the first time in 2025 – with great success.
We continuously look for partners who are willing to open their doors, share their know-how, and actively strengthen the MedTech community. Through your involvement, an ecosystem emerges in which start-ups, research, and industry come together as equals. Our partners create spaces for exchange, enable valuable encounters, and help turn ideas into concrete solutions for the healthcare sector.
