Healing Innovation Pitch Competition to be held in Grand Forks on Sept. 6

Researchers, policy wonks, and problem solvers are encouraged to mark your calendars for the HEALING Innovation Pitch competition, to be held on Sept. 6 in Grand Forks.

Led by Neurogether Ventures, HEALING 2025 is a first-of-its-kind healthcare pitch competition designed to bring entrepreneurs from across the region with business leaders and potential project funders. This event builds on the legacy of the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce Shark Tank event. The event organizers’ goal is to expand healthcare innovation and provide opportunities to regional entrepreneurs with a targeted and mission-driven healthcare solutions brainstorming session.

The competition is open to early-stage and growth-stage companies, research teams, and healthcare entrepreneurs focusing on health innovations within North Dakota and Minnesota. This is a unique opportunity for North Dakota and Minnesota healthcare entrepreneurs to gain access to a $5,000 prize pool, in-kind resources to support growth, and tailored mentorship from domain experts.
