Radboudumc Investment Day October 7, 2026

Matchmaking

The main objective of Raboudumc Investment Day is to establish new contacts. That is why we use a matchmaking platform to set up 1-on-1 meetings. After registering for the event, you get access to a digital environment, where you can introduce yourself and connect with other attendees.

You can then reserve a time and table to speak further during the event. Separate time has been set aside in the program for these rounds of discussions. If you want more time, you can also choose to schedule networking talks during the parallel sessions. This way you can create your own program completely tailored to your needs.

Program

The program for the next edition will be published in the course of 2026
