NCBiotech Aligning Health Care Innovation in North Carolina: Health Systems, Payers, Innovators, and the Quintuple Aim

This event provides the health care, life sciences, and innovation community with an enhanced understanding of the strategic priorities and technology innovation areas of interest to health systems and payers. It also serves as an opportunity for health systems and payers to learn about and engage with companies developing solutions that align with their target areas of interest.

The health system and payer panels will be comprised of executive leadership. Panelists will provide an overview of their organization’s strategic priorities and what drives those priorities, technology solutions being sought to help achieve organizational outcomes, and how companies can optimize engagement with their organization.

The third session will feature pitches from health care start-up companies curated from UNC, Duke, NC State University, and NCBiotech that have developed technologies to address health system and payer areas of interest.

Attendees will then hear from investors as they share their targeted areas of interest in health care and life sciences during a Reverse Investor Pitch session.

Sessions will be followed by a networking reception.
