Last week, Yashfii was officially announced as one of the winners in the “Disruptors Lab” competition. The competition was run and sponsored by Roche and 3 very reputable start-up company incubators (Techne Summit/AUC Venture Labs/Falak). They were looking for the most innovative start-ups that they believe could “disrupt” (radically change) the healthcare ecosystem. Many companies and individuals applied, including international start-ups.
Rewards include a cash prize, working spaces, mentorship, support, and potential partnership.
