Thursday, June 22 2023: Agenda & Speakers
FITTECH SUMMIT VIII:
HEALTH YOURSELF!
The number of old, obese and mentally and emotionally overburdened people is rising, and healthcare systems are groaning: solutions could lie in wearables, VR glasses, DNA tests or artificial intelligence. How will technologies enable us to increasingly take fitness and health into our own hands?
PART 1/3: INSPIRATION (STAGE)
Brain tech: Who wants to sharpen their brains with VR & EEG?
Brain health tech's shining future is on the horizon, with the global market size expected to grow to $15 billion by 2030. The VR and EEG headbands help consumers, athletes and patients to "upgrade" their brains. On the medical side, ADHD patients improve their concentration after a few sessions in VR, and EEG headbands are recommended as additional therapy for depression. What's next?
10:30-11:00 a.m.
Cognitive training: Gamifying mind-body connection for less stress?
New forms of physical training combine exercises for the eyes, brain and musculoskeletal system in a playful way to help us think faster, recover better and exercise more efficiently. Will mixed training forms cure our aging, physically inactive and stressed society? What data can we collect today to make impact tomorrow? And who would be the major beneficiaries of new mixed types of cognitive and physical training?
11:00-11:30 a.m.
VR/AR in healthcare: How big is the gap between research and reality?
We are living longer, getting more stressed, and becoming increasingly obese. Digital tools can offer a remedy for the broken healthcare systems - but only if they make the leap from the research lab to the big stage of everyday medical practice. In this session, one of the founding fathers of virtual reality from Stanford University will share his first-hand insights into the mental health research and VR - and disclose what it takes to reach broad technology adoption.
10:00-10:30 a.m.
DNA-based advisors: My meal, my workout, my healthcare?
Data-focused personalized products are finally reaching the fitness tech and nutrition worlds - and far beyond. Based on the results of DNA tests, health companies like Fitness Genes and Bio-Synergy provide dietary and exercise advice that ranges from anti-aging to astronaut food. How will the data from our bio-code further change the lifestyle habits of millions?
11:30-12:00 a.m.

PART 2/3: INTERACTION (WORKSHOP)
PR in German healthcare market: 5 secret ingredients of the pros
Learn the most important PR rules for entering the German healthcare market and not breaking (too many) things along the way. Which target media and audiences should you address? How should your message be crafted? What are the right channels to reach health insurances, doctors or fitness professionals? When is the best time to go public? Attention: Very interactive!
3:00-4:00 p.m.
Building connected fitness hardware: How to choose the right strategy
Connected fitness hardware plays an integral role in the future of fitness technology. This workshop will help you understand how to start or evolve your strategy and answer some crucial questions: Who to hire? What to expect during the development process? When to decide to invest in your own product? And how to plan post launch support of your hardware device?
2:00-3:00 p.m.
Gut-driven fit fiction: Future-casting with the hidden knowledge
(MEMBERS ONLY!)
In this unique workshop led by the former RedBull CIO, FitTech Club members will get together to create a joint vision of the future of health and fitness. They will develop future scenarios that will be published as a vision white paper in the fall of 2023.

The winner will receive a 1-year free FitTech Club membership to expand their network exponentially, a wild card to ISPO Award and the exposure to the health and fitness-focused investor community.
In this cross-fire session, we will ask the jury members of the FitTech Award tough questions to find out about their failures, strength and weaknesses, and ultimately hear their investors' pitches. We'll also learn why a fittech or consumer health founder should chose them among many others.
Investors' hot seat: Why should a startup take your money?
FitTech Award 2023: Who owns the future - and get the Club membership?
4:45-5:00 p.m.
Raising funds has become an overwhelming challenge for startups amid the insecure market environment. How do founders overcome it? How is fundraising evolving as a discipline? And what new paths towards investment are out there? CEO Vincent Martinez recently convinced investors of his hardware startup Oxa Life. And Hana Besbes of Heal Capital calls for a new generation of investors. A conversation about old perspectives and new trends in fundraising.
