Recap | SMB Network Meeting – Innovate & Connect

August 28, 2025 | Noviotech Campus

What a vibrant afternoon it was! Yesterday’s SMB Network Meeting truly lived up to its theme: Innovate & Connect. From the very first moment, the energy was high — people started networking as soon as they walked in, and they didn’t stop.

With no chairs and no stage, the setup encouraged continuous conversation. This standing-only format was a first — and it turned out to be a huge success: a full-on networking event from start to finish.

One of the highlights? The diversity of the participating companies — from ambitious startups to growing scale-ups and established corporates, active in both health and hightech. All of them entrepreneurs, actively building something, just real innovations and passionate founders. That mix created an inviting open & authentic atmosphere.

A big thank you to the companies who shared their work through short pitches and at the buzzing company market:

Meet pioneering startups like Clonable, Bilihome, Lizz Health, Cardioworks, Novio Energy Storage, innovative companies like MS Sherpa, Sencure, Essity and supporting partners like Johnson & Johnson, EP&C, QServe Group and Avantor. The Digital Health Challenge Lab will also be present.

New connections were made, ideas exchanged, and future plans sparked — all in the spirit of collaboration and innovation in the Health & Hightech ecosystem. Thanks to everyone who took part in this session — as alone you go fast, but together, we go further!
