Evaluation of applications: Late September / Early October 2025

Announcement of selected projects: First half of October 2025

• Results will be communicated to Participating Companies during the first half of October 2025. Finalists will present their project (8–10 minutes pitch) to investors at the Forum. A panel of investors may ask questions, and other investors or attendees may also be present as observers.

Presentation of selected projects at the Forum: 19 November 2025 (afternoon, 5–8 pm)

• Finalist Companies must commit to pitching in person in Barcelona on the Forum date (unless force majeure justifies an online pitch).

– Adequately publicise the call and Forum details through official channels and other media. FSJD will disseminate information through the usual i4KIDS network channels.
– Guarantee accessibility to the necessary information about the Forum, including legal terms, requirements, and deadlines.
– Validate the documentation submitted by companies and verify compliance with the requirements set forth in these legal terms.
– Communicate, within the indicated deadlines, the results of the selection process to both selected and non-selected companies.

The Med Angels del CoMB Network Membership Terms specify that if a Finalist Company secures investment through the Med Angels del CoMB Network within 24 months of introduction to investors, the Network will be entitled to fees equivalent to 4% (plus VAT) of private funds obtained, with a minimum of €2,000 (plus VAT).

Therefore, all Participating Companies to the 1st PAEDIATRIC AND MATERNAL HEALTH INVESTMENT FORUM must accept these LEGAL TERMS, but only Finalists must accept the Med Angels del CoMB Membership Terms to present at the Forum (When informed that they have been selected by the organisers). Upon request, complete Membership Terms can be provided. The most relevant clause—the fees—has already been expressly included in these Legal Terms. For this reason, it is not considered that there is any impediment for the Finalist Companies to accept the Legal Terms, since they will have already been informed of this condition.
