On May 29, 2025, Vassilis Voulgarakis from ViLabs represented the EVOLVE2CARE project at Cluj Innovation Days 2025, held at Babeș-Bolyai University (BBU) in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. This flagship annual event, under the theme “Transforming Healthcare through Technology: Ethical, Human-Centric, and AI-Driven Solutions,” focused on digital transformation in the MedTech sector.
As a speaker in the panel “Bridging Research, Technology, and Healthcare,” Vassilis discussed the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in creating patient-centric, tech-enabled healthcare solutions. In addition to his speech, Vassilis gave an interview to local media, to explain how EVOLVE2CARE is looking to foster new collaboration opportunities for HealthTech innovation across Europe, bringing together researchers, startups, and innovators with Living Labs.
Vassilis also engaged in seven targeted B2B matchmaking meetings, where he presented the EVOLVE2CARE Open Call opportunity to startups and innovators. The matchmaking sessions, also, provided a platform to meet with startups, innovators, and fellow project managers, discussing potential synergies and knowledge exchange opportunities relevant to our project’s objective.
