The European Innovation Council (EIC) is inviting all EIC-funded innovators developing solutions for cancer prevention and care to apply for an upcoming ePitching facilitated by the EIC Investor Readiness and Outreach Programme. On 25 February 2025, the selected beneficiaries will get to pitch online to a panel of high-level investors from Ananda Impact Ventures, Armilar Venture Partners, BioGeneration Ventures, Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund, Bullnet Capital, Clinical Research Ventures, EQT Life Sciences, High-Tech Gründerfonds, Indaco Venture Partners Sgr, Invivo Partners, MIG AG, Panakès Partners, Supernova Invest, V-Bio Ventures, Verve Ventures, XAnge, YAYA Capital, Ysios Capital and more to be confirmed.
Around 1.3 million people in the European Union (EU) lost their lives to cancer in 2020, making it the second leading cause of death across all EU Member States. While the EU has been working to tackle the diseases’ impact for decades, recent commitments, such as Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, have increased the demand for state-of-the-art technologies that can help effectively prevent, detect, diagnose and treat cancer.
The EIC ePitching on Cancer Prevention and Care will address this demand by introducing investors to some of the leading oncology technologies in the EIC portfolio.
