A two-hour panel where academics who have an idea (and sometimes already results and funding) present it to the audience, as well as to an esteemed panel of experts, representing various angles of the industry. The panelists then provide the companies with valuable feedback, which informs both the companies and the entrepreneurs in the audience about the process to create a company or to receive venture capital funding. Think "Dragons' Den" or "Shark Tank" for ehealth/mhealth!
