First edition MII Connect showed the importance of creating a meeting space between startups, business partners, investors and representatives of public administration. With the support of strategic partners, it was possible to build an event that received very positive feedback from participants.

Arkadiusz Grądkowski, POLMED Chamber

„MII Connect proved that real cooperation between startups, business and public administration is possible - and needed. This meeting also provided a natural platform to inaugurate the activities of the Chamber's POLMED HealthHub, which we hope will develop in parallel with this initiative, supporting startups on the path to implementation in the healthcare system.”

On this basis, we are planning a second edition - in a more compact format, with even more emphasis on content quality and networking.
