“Attention startups and entrepreneurs: TEDMED, in association with the StartUp Health Network, is excited to announce the kickoff of The Hive 2014. We officially welcome your nominations and applications now through January 22nd.

Are you an entrepreneur heading up a transformative startup and think you should be part of The Hive? If so, we encourage you to apply today.

Additionally, we invite you to nominate startups and entrepreneurs that you believe should be part of The Hive at TEDMED 2014 – April 9-11 in Washington, DC at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Exciting innovations are challenging the status quo across health and medicine in areas like biotech, health IT, mHealth, life sciences, health tech, and more. TEDMED celebrates the ideas behind this progress in The Hive – an immersive and informal social environment dedicated to exploring and showcasing transformative startups and the inspiring entrepreneurs that power them. At TEDMED 2014, the community will be exposed to leaders of today and future leaders of tomorrow, celebrating the new possibilities that emerge from our collective or “hive” mind.”
