Social Innovation Pitch Tank

The VISTA Social Innovation Pitch Tank is an opportunity for innovators to showcase community-driven solutions that improve health and well-being. Held as part of the VISTA Conference in Cape Town, the Pitch Tank will bring together researchers, community leaders, entrepreneurs, clinicians, policymakers, funders, and implementation experts to highlight innovative approaches to global health challenges.
