Meet Dr.med.dent. Haley, Dr.med.dent. Goly Abivardi, DMDs, CEOs and Founders of vVARDIS Drs Haley and Goly Abivardi (DMD), Swiss dentists, innovators, and serial entrepreneurs, are the co-CEOs and founders of vVARDIS, a MedTech company that developed the first product to regenerate enamel for the treatment of incipient caries using a medical approach. After studying medicine and dentistry at the University of Zürich, they co-ran a public pediatric dental clinic in Switzerland, affiliated with primary schools. This clinic was dedicated to preventive oral health care, serving thousands of children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. As dentists and mothers, it was painful for them to see children suffering from general health issues due to poor oral health and infrequent dental check-ups. This was often a result of fear and anxiety about dental visits or a lack of awareness of the importance of good oral health. Learn and connect with these leaders in Cologne.
