B2B Competition Night 2017

Posted on by Vicki Jackson

Hello Students,

The University of Utah’s Bench-to-Bedside (B2B) Program would like to invite you all to attend the B2B Competition Night held this April 3rd, from 6-9pm at the Utah State Capitol.

This event will showcase the best healthcare solutions that our student teams have developed over our six month program.
B2B is a health tech start-up program that helps students develop a healthcare solution to an existing healthcare problem. At the end of the six month timeline (i.e. the B2B Competition Night), these students compete for prize money totaling over $70,000 used to create a start-up company from their healthcare idea. Over the last six years, we have produced close to 40 start-up companies and developed over 180 medical solutions.

The B2B Competition Night is the final culmination of our six-month timeline. This is an opportunity for all students to interact, learn, and network with peers, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, faculty, lawyers, and top professionals of the health/tech industries of Salt Lake City.
Attire: Business Casual

Dinner will be provided.

If any of you are interested in being apart of the Bench-to-Bedside Program and/or its Leadership Committees, please feel free to contact us at any time. We will start again September 2017.
