Promising entrepreneurs seeking funding had presented to global corporates and VC’s at the 4th annual Healthtech Summit at NYSE Euronext, London. Three of the selected companies came from Switzerland: Aleva Therapeutics, Mindmaze and Sequana Medical.

20 top European healthtech companies were selected by an expert committee to present at the NYSE Euronext. Joey Mason, Vice President of the Selection Committee, commented on the selection process saying, “This year's selection committee rose to the tough task of choosing from a highly diverse pool of truly innovative medical technology companies from Europe and Israel. Our pleasurable challenge was to select the small group of presenting companies from what is a vibrant and growing sector.”
