American Urological Association Innovation Nexus Conference

With many exciting activities, including discussion forums, reverse pitches, and mentorship opportunities, attendees will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and connect with industry experts. Additionally, they'll have access to exclusive insights from top business executives and the chance to connect with influential investors who can help take their ideas to the next level. 

Program areas include:    

Showcase: Through a rigorous and highly competitive selection process, the AUA selects a handful of the best and most exciting startups in urology to showcase their innovations. These highly innovative companies span the globe and present products—devices, artificial intelligence platforms, diagnostic tests, etc.—covering a variety of urologic issues such as prostate and bladder cancer, kidney injuries, fertility testing, nocturnal enuresis, overactive bladder, and interstitial cystitis.

Reverse Pitch: Join them as leading industry innovators share their passion for research and innovation, what real-world problems they are trying to solve, and engage in a dynamic and interactive discussion on the unanswered questions they are interested in exploring. This unique format gives industry the opportunity to explain the real-world business challenges they would like to see addressed and the kinds of problems they are interested in collaborating to solve.

Discussion Forums: Sessions address thought-provoking topics such as the importance of a urology incubator, current physician and patient needs, investment in urologic discovery, and more.

Networking Opportunities: The networking component is perhaps one of the most essential benefits of the Research Incubator. AUA Innovation Nexus is a powerful forum for building the connections needed to move to the next level of innovation and implementation. Multiple networking opportunities are built into the day, including a reception to close out the program.
