The IMAGINE IF! Programme is a business programme that is developed by the Innovation Forum. By applying to the IMAGINE IF! programme you agree with the terms listed below, by and to the individuals and organisations described.
An eligible IMAGINE IF! team is composed of between two and seven members that have together raised less than $300,000 USD (or the equivalent in local currency) in dilutive funding for the project or company that is submitted to the IMAGINE IF! accelerator.
An eligible project or company should also have a strong scientific/technological backbone and should focus on health or healthcare.
We define those as “life sciences and healthtech ventures”, which means any business that is based on scientific discoveries, use technology and/or data to create products or services that aim to improve human or animal healthcare and wellbeing.
Non-registered teams, including those that register after the advertised deadlines, and those who do not meet the above eligibility are not able to be a part of the IMAGINE IF! events or awards process.
If you choose to withdraw your application during the programme, you and your team members will no longer be eligible to participate in any portion of the competition.
Innovation Forum retains the right to refuse eligibility.
All applications to the IMAGINE IF! programme will be submitted and assessed through the online registration platform.
