On the 6th of October 2025, we hosted a Meet & Greet as an opportunity for members to meet the committee and get an overview of the events we are hosting this year (including the highly popular mentorship programme and coding workshop!) We invited two guest speakers – Tristan Derry (co-founder of Orbion) and Mads Nørløv (founder and board member of Copenhagen MedTech) – who gave insightful talks on their experience. It didn't stop here; we also had free Japanese food from Nazuki Garden and Thai food from Rosa's Thai (our sponsors!)
