How it Works
As a start-up, you will submit a solution in one of four areas of innovation development (Early-Stage Innovation, Concept Validation, Early Commercialization, Growth Trajectory).
Submissions will be judged by a panel of pediatric healthcare providers/administrators and their picks will form the challenge's start-up company finalist list. The finalist start-ups will present their innovative solution to a panel of judges during a live-virtual event, and final winners will be announced during an awards ceremony.
