And it's about to get even better.
The next WISH conference will be held in Doha, Qatar, in November 2024, and it's looking for innovators to come up with "groundbreaking solutions that address the world's most urgent health challenges," according to its website.
The competition is open to "visionary entrepreneurs and early to mid-stage health-focused startups and innovators wishing to showcase groundbreaking solutions that address the world's most urgent health challenges," says Afdhal.
The winners will be invited to exhibit at the conference, and they'll also get an investment award.
The competition is open to innovators from 36 countries, and the deadline to register is May 30, per Phys.org.
