Vesalius Innovation Award

For the fourth consecutive year, Karger Publishers is seeking top-of-the-line applicants for its Vesalius Innovation Award. The award is aimed at early-stage startups in the Health Sciences and Publishing sectors that are developing innovative technological solutions with a significant impact in their respective fields. 

The judging panel is comprised of leading Health Sciences and publishing experts, who will evaluate the submissions and provide feedback to the participants. After the evaluation by the jury, the top five shortlisted startups will be invited to present their ideas at the STM Week in London in December. This is an excellent opportunity for the startups to showcase their innovations to a wider audience and gain valuable exposure. The winner will receive $15,000, while the two runners-up will be awarded $5,000 each. Over the course of the award’s history, over 13% of all previous applicants, not just the winners, have continued to partner with Karger.

Criteria

The focus of this year’s competition is on knowledge communication, patient centricity, and artificial intelligence.
