An innovation summit in health and technology — the one occasion in the year when researchers, clinicians, founders and investors are in the same place, with meetings arranged in advance rather than left to chance.
Unicity Innovation Summit is organised by UMFST „George Emil Palade” Târgu Mureș together with Romanian Business Leaders. Research and capital rarely meet, and usually by accident. The Summit brings researchers, clinicians, founders, companies and investors into the same room, with meetings arranged in advance, and the Unicity Factory keeps the work going between editions.
The Unicity Factory teams pitch in two parallel tracks, Health and Technology, with interventions from mentors and the jury.
Research and innovation in Romanian medicine, translational research, investment, technology and defence, pharma in the age of AI, business development.
Stands, live demos and the projects of the pre-accelerator, open throughout both days.
Sponsors award their prizes on day 1; on day 2 the five finalists who continue into the incubator are announced.
19 teams pitching live, panels with researchers and investors, and 1:1 meetings arranged in advance.
Besenyei Sarolta, Executive Director of INCUBCENTER and expert evaluator for the European Commission, walked the teams through the main sources of funding, the advantages of each and how to choose the right instrument for a company's profile. Participants applied it in practical exercises built on their own business proposals.
Andrei Gusan, Fractional CTO at Happy Pixels and leader of RBL Mureș, talked about entrepreneurship and the roadmap of a startup: the difference between the problem and the solution, and how to plan the next steps so that each one tests what matters most.
Anamaria Ungur, CEO of Syndical, opened the series with customer understanding, validation interviews and the first pitch. Călin Ștefănescu, entrepreneur and CEO, followed with strategy, clarity in business and the steps from concept to results.
The organisers, sponsors and partners who make Unicity Factory and the Summit possible, investing in health and technology innovation.

Live demos and prototypes from selected teams and researchers, connected to the panel programme.
Stands for companies and institutions in the health & technology ecosystem.
Open floor for meeting founders, mentors, clinicians and investors between sessions.
