A short introduction by Menno Prins and Danny van der Haven about the program of the day, the jury process and the testing rounds.

All 10 teams will demonstrate their sensors by testing samples that the organization has prepared. Also, each team will have a stand on the market where they will explain to the public how their biosensor works. Partners of SensUs will present themselves on this market. Furthermore, each team will give two pitches: one pitch about the technology of their sensor, and one about the translation potential.
