The spirit within A.CN is truly entrepreneurial, and it aims to connect and collaborate with start-ups, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders across sectors and geographies to help accelerate the development of healthcare technology and services that benefit society.
“Every year we look forward to Slush and are energized and inspired by the passion and drive of the founders we meet, both inside and outside of the healthcare space. It’s a place to make meaningful connections that can ignite innovation and open up a world of new possibilities.” – Ryan Bate, Senior Director of Strategy and Operations, A.Catalyst Network, AstraZeneca
