    During the competition finals, which will be held in-person on Wednesday, Sept. 29, at The MedTech Conference, each of the five companies will have seven minutes to pitch their technology and answer questions from a panel of three judges. After the presentations, the audience will vote in real-time to select the winners. The first-place startup will take home a $350,000 non-dilutive cash prize and the title of MedTech Innovator 2021. The remaining four finalists will each receive a $25,000 cash prize. Additionally, incubator space awards will be presented from JLABS. In total, more than $500,000 in prizes will be awarded.
