Austin Fast Start: Bio / Med Tech

Austin Fast Start is a pitch competition with a purpose. Every quarter, we will hear from a new industry and award an unrestricted cash prize and other opportunities to turn these dreams into realities. This quarter is Bio/Med Tech and will feature finalists using technology, products and approaches that maintain or improve health, treat diseases or medical conditions affecting humans.

You'll get the opportunity to see and hear innovators present their ideas and vote for your favorite, as the winner will be selected by the audience. Food and drinks will also be provided.

Thank You to Our Food Partner

Self-paid parking is available in the Health Center Garage located at 1601 Trinity Street. The garage entrance is accessible on the east side of Trinity Street, just north of the Trinity & 15th Street intersection. Park on level 3 or higher. Once parked, take the north elevators to the lobby (level 1).  

Turn right out of the elevator lobby and cross the lobby of the Health Transformation Building. Exit through the main entrance doors (stationed opposite the security desk). Upon exiting the building, turn to the right and take the 17th Street Pedestrian Pathway up the hill to Red River Street.

Cross Red River Street and turn right. You will easily identify the Health Learning Building Plaza when you see the bronze nautilus-shaped sculpture called “Spiral of the Galaxy.”
