[ENG] VITA Accelerator – celebrating start-up innovation’s spark
On Friday, 3rd February, pharmaphorum travelled to Casa Angelini, Angelini Ventures HQ in Rome – the corporate venture vessel of Angelini Industries – for the inaugural Demo Day of VITA Accelerator, a programme promoting the inspiring innovation that start-ups can bring to this industry, and to the patients that they essentially seek to help.
VITA is the digital health accelerator of CDP Venture Capital’s national accelerator network. The Demo Day marked the final day of the first accelerator, entirely dedicated to digital health. A hybrid event, taking place both at Casa Angelini and online, the programme was realised together with Healthware Group and Accelerace, both of which manage the operations. Casa Angelini was proffered as the location, as Angelini Ventures supports the acceleration programme as part of the broad network of ‘ecosystem partners’ in the institutional, scientific, and venture capital space.
