In this way, the German participants could network and exchange ideas and innovations face-to-face with leading US researchers, post-doctorates, entrepreneurs, scientists and university representatives of the digital healthcare sector.

Impressions of the Matchmaking Tour USA
In the course of five days, the nine German Research-SME-Tandems had the opportunity to "travel" from the West Coast to the East Coast and learn about major national and regional institutions, companies and research projects in the field of digital health in the USA.
Below you will find some impressions of the virtual Matchmaking Tour:
Joint US-German Innovation in Digital Health
We invited you to join us for the opening of the Matchmaking Tour. The virtual presenting event featured a speech from the German Embassy Washington and Fraunhofer USA, a professional panel and pitches from the visiting Research-SME-Tandems of InnoHealth USA. As a final part of the program, you had the opportunity to network with the tandems in the virtual hallways. This was an extraordinary opportunity to connect with representatives from the U.S. and Germany, and to learn about technologies and solutions in the fields of AI-enabled healthcare, medical devices, and digitization that are changing the future of healthcare. We enjoyed your participation!

Post-Matching
The Matchmaking Tour in the US will be supplemented by a following digital Post-Matching. Thus, we are supporting the winning Research-SME-Tandems to meet potential US-partners - and vice versa - after the Matchmaking Tour. As a complementary follow up for the local networking events during the Matchmaking Tour, the participants of the Post-Matching get the opportunity to exchange initial ideas and test the compatibility with potential partners.
In addition, the German participants of InnoHealth USA can also identify potential US participants for participation in the German R&D Tour.
