Startup Stories: Beyond the Hype – Successes and Failures of AI in Healthcare

Artificial Intelligence is transforming healthcare – but not always in the ways headlines promise. Between groundbreaking innovations and costly missteps lies a reality that is rarely discussed openly.

Join us for an inspiring edition of Startup Stories, where founders, innovators, and healthcare experts share honest insights into the real successes and failures of AI in healthcare. In collaboration with Swiss Healthcare Startups and University Hospital Zurich, this event goes beyond buzzwords to explore what truly works, what doesn’t, and why.

Through authentic startup stories and practical case studies, we will dive into questions such as:

• Where does AI create real clinical and economic value?

• Why do promising pilots fail to scale in healthcare environments?

• What can entrepreneurs, researchers and clinicians learn from setbacks?

Whether you are building an AI-driven health startup, working in clinical innovation, or shaping the future of digital health, this event offers valuable lessons, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections.

✨🥂 Networking Apéro included

Continue the conversations over a relaxed apéro and connect with fellow entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, researchers, and innovation leaders from the Swiss ecosystem.

Be part of an evening that replaces hype with honesty, and inspiration with experience.

More information about the speakers will follow. The event will be held in English. This Startup Stories event is powered by Innosuisse, is organized in collaboration with the Startup Campus and the University Hospital Zurich.
