Doha, Qatar: The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), an initiative of Qatar Foundation, today announces the launch of its 2024 Innovation Competition, inviting entrepreneurs and startups to showcase groundbreaking solutions that address the world's most urgent healthcare challenges.
Entrepreneurs in the health sector and representatives from incubation centers are encouraged to apply. Early to mid-stage health-focused startups and innovators selected through a judging process will be invited to exhibit at the prestigious WISH 2024 international healthcare summit, set to take place on 13-14 November, Qatar, at the Qatar National Convention Centre, Doha. The WISH Innovation Competition comprises two categories: "Young Innovators" for health startups led by founders 30 years and younger; and "Innovation Showcases" for health startups that have moved beyond the ideation phase and established their market presence for up to five years. The winner in each category will receive an investment award.
Proposals can showcase innovative solutions across all spectrums of healthcare, with an emphasis on digital health. The judging committee will assess entries based on impact, novelty, and growth potential.
In addition to the investment award, key companion benefits of the WISH Innovation Award Program, which incorporates the two competition categories, include networking opportunities with like-minded startups, health experts, investors, and local incubation centers; and access to sessions with industry experts to learn about marketing, social media, presenting, and pitching to investors.
