Startup Showdown.
The most electric moment on the DHF26 festival floor. Fourteen of Australia's sharpest early-stage healthtech companies. Two heats. One grand final. One winner crowned in front of 8,000+ of the most senior health execs in the country.
This is where the next generation of healthcare gets its moment.
How it works
HEAT ONE
Seven start-ups take the stage on Day 2. Each gets their moment in front of the judges and the festival floor. Only the best progress.
HEAT TWO
Seven more start-ups battle it out on Day 2. Same judges. Same stakes. The best from each heat go head-to-head in the grand final.
THE FINAL
The finalists pitch live to the full festival audience. One company is crowned the DHF26 Startup Showdown winner. The biggest stage in Australian healthtech.
