AcexHealth
Scouting program

Admissions

Bridging an academic and entrepreneurial point of view can be a difficult path. Most health technology developments never reach the patient, often not due to technology failure but due to wrong turns on the pathway from discovery to the market. All of these innovations can significantly advance lives worldwide. At AcexHealth Scouting, we share your goal: we want to help you bring your healthtech invention to the patient! If you have a commercially viable unmet clinical need, protected or protectable asset our objective with the AcexHealth Scouting program is the creation of Startups.

This program has been designed with disruptive biotech and medtech projects in mind. The team of mentors is acquainted with this kind of projects, and what are the main barriers to success. The program has been designed with all this experience in mind. It consists of the following tasks:

BLOCK/STAGE 1

Acexhealth Accelerator – Challenges

  • There are limited knowledgeable and globally experienced resources in Andalucía in the health technology space
  • Early decisions in projects/start-ups can be highly debilitating to or kill a promising and impactful technology or make it uninvestable
  • There is a need to make health technology projects/start-ups in Andalucia more competitive with start-ups from other areas for funding
Let us help you bring your invention to life!
