About this event

In 2020 and 2021, the world has seen a significant rise in entrepreneurship, particularly in the healthcare space. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a 25% increase in health app downloads and digital health services. In this panel, we welcome four founders from across the world to share their experiences and perspective of navigating entrepreneurship in the ‘new normal’.

Chaired by Anne-Marie will be joined by:

Yun Xiao, co-funder of Certa Thera, committed to using the core protein technology to improve the effectiveness of the immune drugs for cancer patients

Three more panellists to be announced!

This event is part of the Global Challenge Lab 2021, a 10-day virtual entrepreneurship programme delivered by the Imperial Enterprise Lab in partnership with Tsinghua’s x-lab.
