Understanding the Unique HealthTech Startup Journey:

It's crucial to recognize that the journey of commercializing health technologies and building HealthTech startups is significantly different from that of traditional startups. General accelerators and venture capital often lack the specific expertise to effectively support HealthTech and Biotech founders, due to **Longer Time-to-Market, Significant Technology Risk, Rigorous Regulatory Hurdles, High Capital Intensity.

**Our innovative and practice-oriented course - developed in alignment with EIT Health - is specifically designed to equip the next generation of healthcare leaders with the entrepreneurial mindset and practical knowledge.

  • Promotion: Introducing the course to your relevant student body.

  • Support: Encouraging and facilitating student participation in the course.

  • Feedback: Providing valuable insights and feedback on the course content and delivery to our program development team.
