After the finalists of the first IMAGINE IF! competition for health-tech startups have been selected, mentors and finalists met each other for the first time at Meet & Greet meeting, that was held yesterday at STP Belgrade. Representatives of the UK Government’s Global Entrepreneur Program (GEP), Derek Goodwin and Anthony Sheehan also attended, as special guests.

Event was a great opportunity for startups to exchange experiences, get advice and make new contacts. It was also a great opportunity for young people with innovative ideas to connect with experts and investors who can help them develop and commercialize their business ideas.

Jelena Begovic, director of the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering , and one of the mentors, spoke about the importance of mentoring, as well as about trends in health-tech.
