Massimo Cannizzo, Co-founder and CEO at GELLIFY Middle East, will be among the jury comprising healthcare innovation experts at Innov8 Talks.

Based on his experience in mentoring startups, Massimo suggests “adapting their products to meet what is currently needed in the industry.” He continues, “To get the attention of investors, be prepared to demonstrate how reliable your team is backed with smart, game-changing ideas that are practical and achievable. I look forward to hearing unique and innovative solutions that will improve the healthcare industry from fresh talents.”

Innov8 Talks will feature 32 startups vying for a mentorship programme and a stand at Arab Health 2022. The online competition begins on May 23 during the first leg of Arab Health 2021. In each of the four rounds, eight startups from all over each day will be given eight minutes each to pitch to the Innovation Committee. The final pitch-off will take place the week of June 7 where four shortlisted startups will compete, and the Innov8 2021 winner will be announced at Arab Health.
