Helmholtz Health Partnering Event

Dear MDC Innovators,

We are pleased to invite you to the Helmholtz Health Partnering Event on 19 November 2026 at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin.

Bringing together researchers, industry, startups and the wider biomedical ecosystem, the event is designed to help you build industry connections and turn scientific expertise into new collaboration opportunities.

 As an MDC researcher, you will get a chance to:

1. Meet companies looking for new technologies, research capabilities and scientific expertise
2. Schedule targeted 1:1 meetings with industry and other participants in advance via the b2match platform
3. Pitch a collaboration opportunity in 2 minutes to potential industry and research partners
4. Find complementary expertise and partners across Helmholtz Health and the Berlin biomedical ecosystem

Last year, we organised an event in similar format, Predictive Systems Medicine Partnering Event, which showed us how valuable the combination of short pitches and pre-arranged 1:1 meetings can be for starting new conversations. We therefore strongly encourage you to join – particularly if you have a technology, research capability, disease model, dataset or scientific question for which an external partner could add value.

Register now to create your profile, explore the agenda and participants, and post your collaboration opportunities.

When registering, you can also indicate your interest in giving a 2-minute collaboration pitch. We encourage you to register and add your research and collaboration opportunities early: the stronger the MDC presence on the platform, the better we can target and attract relevant industry partners to meet you.

The event is organized by the MDC Innovation & Entrepreneurship team together with Berlin Partner / HealthCapital Berlin-Brandenburg, Helmholtz Health, H3 Health Hub, Campus Berlin-Buch and FMP.
