My organisation
Non Governmental Organization that supports health innovation by connecting innovators to things that they need, providing feedback and mentoring.
FreshBlood wants to improve health through people, projects and partnerships. We want to become the meeting point, the GO TO place, for innovators from Romania and Eastern Europe who want to improve the health system through innovation.
At FreshBlood, we know that change in healthcare can only be driven by approaching experts in various fields. We therefore connect health innovators to each other, to different startups, to universities (from medical to IT and more), and to funding organisations and companies.
Over a decade of experience later, we are constantly asked for feedback and mentoring from those who are already involved in healthcare projects. We keep our communities close, by sharing knowledge in every possible way, on any online and offline platforms.
