Do you have a great idea for the development of an orthopaedic device? Are you looking for international industrial partners or funding?

Get your five minutes to convince investors by participating in the OrthoTec Investment Hub, which is taking place September 12 and 13 at OrthoTec Europe in Zurich. All you need to do is email orthoteceu-hub@ubm.com to request your participation form. The deadline for submissions is August 15.

The goal of the OrthoTec Investment Hub is to create partnerships between patent holders, industrial, international investors, and suppliers at an earlier stage in the innovation process. Eighteen projects will be selected. If chosen, you'll have the opportunity to present to a panel of orthopaedic professionals and investors at OrthoTec Europe during two half-days of "5 Minutes to Convince" and networking sessions.

Here's a snapshot of who will be there:

• Industrial OEM manufacturers of orthopaedic implants looking for technologies through licensing, partnering and acquisition (senior management, business development and R&D).
• Industrial partners to OEM, contract manufacturers, and other developers of technologies.
• Venture capital, banking, and angel investors.
• Consultants.
• Research laboratories and universities.
• Industrial properties advisors and business development professionals.
