ADDIT-CE NeuroConnect MeetUp 2026 - 2nd edition

Connect, Share, Innovate — 120 seconds at the forefront of Alzheimer'sand neurodegenerative diseases

Date: 5th November 2026
Time: 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM (registration from 2:30 PM)

Why join?

The first ADDIT-CE NeuroConnect Meetup (Brno, November 2025) brought together 22 pitch presenters and an afternoon of conversations that carried on long after the programme ended. For the second edition, the consortium moves to Bratislava - to the Science Park of Comenius University, home of MultiplexDX.

The format stays deliberately simple: short, sharp presentations followed by open networking. This year, investors will be part of the audience - so your 120 seconds reach not only research partners and clinicians, but also the people who fund what comes next.

What's new in 2026: the Science for Investors training workshop

Excellent research isn't enough on its own. To reach investors, companies or industry partners, it has to be clear what problem you solve, what solution you bring and who it creates value for.

That's why this year's meetup comes with an optional preparation step, organised by the ADDIT-CEand BridgeTTe projects together with JIC:

  • When: 16 September 2026, 12:30–18:00
  • Where: JIC Startup Hub, Purkyňova 649/127, Brno
  • Price: Free - capacity limited to 50 participants     across both consortia
  • Language: English
  • What you get: a clear structure for communicating research value; your own 120-second pitch built and rehearsed on the spot; live feedback in front of the group for six selected participants; and a closing panel with an investor and two spin-off founders on how research projects are assessed and which mistakes come up again and again.
