Health-Tech Knowledge Building and Networking Weekend in Iceland
Posted on August 31, 2025 (23 days ago)
On May 22 to 25 2025, we'll bring our VOYAGERS health-tech community to Iceland for a special three-night learning and networking trip. We're running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of health-related projects from many geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more.
The weekend includes a workshop and discussion programme designed to keep you on top of key health-tech trends and opportunities. Participants on our last Iceland trip rated the adventure on average 9.2 out of 10.
JOIN A TALENTED GROUP OF HEALTH-TECH SPECIALISTS
This will be a diverse international group of founders, board members, investors, regulators and more, all working in health-tech. Previous participants came from the US, Israel, Taiwan, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Estonia and beyond – creating an unmissable agenda and strong networks.
Testimonials from previous participants praise the seamless organisation, inspiring group, and unforgettable learning experiences.
