ARPA-H Launchpad Showcase

We’re excited to host the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) inaugural Launchpad Showcase.

This virtual event will showcase the eight ARPA-H Launchpad performers’ solutions through pitches and demonstrations that highlight their commercial and technical progress before an audience of target investors and stakeholders. Launchpad performers, investors, and ecosystem stakeholders will have the opportunity to meaningfully connect with the goal of creating strategic partnerships to advance performer commercialization. This invite-only event offers you a chance to get a sneak peek of each team’s innovative solution and learn more about their potential to transform health outcomes.

All individual attendees must fill out the registration form. Registration will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
