The theme for this next edition will be Digital Transformation in Healthcare! At Innovation for Health 2023, you get to share insights, catch up on the latest trends, establish new or build upon valuable connections and collaborations, and much more.

Thematic Technology Transfers, the MedTech Program

Technological innovations are needed more than ever to keep health care affordable, qualitative, and staffed in the long term. However, the route to the market is very complex and difficult for MedTech spin-offs. The Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTO) of TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, University of Twente, and Wageningen University & Research are building a national and open program, together with the KTOs of Erasmus MC, RadboudUMC, and Maastricht UMC, as well as VC fund Innovation Industries. Technology-driven medical solutions often need to cross a long road to success. Apart from the technical functionalities and medical potential, topics like certification, reimbursement, and implementation strategies play an important role. An early connection between the medical and technical worlds is key to developing a strong proposition for the right market. This TTT stimulates early cross-overs between the two worlds and enables researchers to elevate their research ideas, validate them and launch a successful spin-off.

At Innovation for Health 14 MedTech spin-offs and entrepreneurs will take the stage to pitch their MedTech innovation.
