We welcome applications from any HealthTech, MedTech and eHealth start-ups who need support getting investment-ready. We have a maximum of 8 spaces available. So to make it onto the program, you’ll need to show us that you have a truly innovative idea – and a burning desire to make your business vision a reality.
You’re one of the lucky eight entrepreneurs selected? Congratulations! On February 26th, we’ll send you instructions for accessing our e-learning program along with a detailed weekly schedule.
The program involves doing three sessions a day from Tuesday to Thursday each week. This includes a mix of live and recorded sessions, expert Q&As, 1:1 coaching, and skills training. There are also networking events where you get to interact with our community. Sessions start in the morning and finish in the afternoon.
