About this Event

MATTER has launched the Paratus Digital Health Accelerator program supporting 10 startups across two cohorts in 2025. The 10-week accelerator program supports entrepreneurs who are developing digital health solutions that improve the continuum of clinical care and enhance preparedness and response to public health emergencies due to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incidents, pandemic influenza and emerging infectious diseases. Join us on September 9 to hear pitches and connect virtually with the cohort of participating companies. 

Attendees may join the event virtually or in-person at MATTER for a live viewing party.
