After careful analysis of over 90 applications from start-ups all over Europe, 9 finalists had a chance to impress the jury and the public by pitching their product or idea in 180 seconds during the second digital event held on 26 January 2021. We are very pleased to announce that PIPRA AG (short for Pre-Interventional Preventive Risk Assessment) became the winner of the 1st Brain Innovation Jury Award for Best Pitch. PIPRA AG is developing a cutting-edge AI-based pre-operative test to assess patient’s risk of suffering from cognitive disorders after a surgery. The 1st Brain Innovation Public Award for Best Pitch went to Icompanion, the digital companion for people with neurological conditions and their physicians.
The Jury Award winner is awarded with an in-depth review from all jury members and two workshops. The first workshop, led by beLean.net, will focus on the winning start-up’s business plan (including diagnosis, modelling and/or internationalisation) and the second workshop, led by IMEC.ISTART, will be a tailored Innovatrix or international market identification. Furthermore, both the Jury and Public Award winners will receive free access to the Brain Innovation Days physical event to be held in Brussels on October 12 and 13, 2021.
Congratulations to our winners!
