CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Futures Industry Association (“FIA”) has announced that IMX Health, LLC is one of ten companies chosen to exhibit in the Innovators Pavilion at the FIA’s Futures and Options Expo on November 18-20, 2024 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk. The Innovators Pavilion showcases startup companies providing forward-thinking solutions for the global futures, options and swaps markets.

IMX Health was chosen from a competitive pool of applicants to showcase its healthcare based indices, products, and data solutions to attendees that include senior executives from brokerage firms, exchanges, trading firms and service providers.

The Pavilion consists of start-ups chosen by FIA’s selection committee, based on their relevance to the industry and their innovative approach to solving business problems. IMX Health will have a booth to introduce their products and services to the FIA community and each start-up will have an opportunity to give a short pitch directly to Expo attendees. At the conclusion of the conference, FIA will announce the winner of the pitch competition based on feedback from our expert judges as well as the winner of the "people's choice" award based on the number of votes received from Expo attendees.

James Plante, co-founder and CEO of IMX, said, “The biggest economic problem facing the U.S. is the rapidly rising cost of healthcare – and only the most innovative financial solutions can help fix that. Now, with the advent of big data, AI, the electronification of claims and improved database functionality, the potential for a healthcare-based futures contract is not only possible, but on our doorstep. IMX allows market participants the opportunity to hedge the healthcare economy.”
