Pitching for solutions: Tackling healthcare challenges in Estonia & Nova Scotia

Join us for the second collaboration event between Tehnopol Science and Business Park, the Nova Scotia Health Innovation Hub and Life Sciences Nova Scotia!

Date: Thursday May 29th 2025
Time: 9AM to 11AM AT
Format: Online via Teams (the event will be recorded and link to be provided)

Following the success of our first event, where we explored each other’s healthcare markets, soft-landing opportunities, and funding possibilities, this time, we’re diving deeper into the real-world challenges and solutions shaping both ecosystems.

The event kicks off with clinical representatives from Estonia and Nova Scotia sharing the key problems they currently face and the types of solutions they’re seeking. This will be followed by a pitching session featuring eight innovative life science companies – four from each region – who will present their cutting-edge solutions, followed by an engaging Q&A.
