Aiming to accelerate the international scaling of Nordic startups

HealthTech Nordic accelerates the growth of startups and unite pioneers in the field of HealthTech. We’re here to connect the dots between innovative solutions, health care and a global market. Together, we advance ideas and unite resources to address worldwide healthcare needs while we drive regional development and job creation.

The project is partially financed by Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak, European Regional Development Fund. We are aiming to help 100 startups within HealthTech to grow and to create 700 new jobs. 20 startups are expected to become international fast-growers and 5 international companies to establish in the region. The project will provide a strategy and know-how on employment growth based on inter-regional assets and global needs.

Defining HealthTech

Any solution that may contribute to the paradigm shift in healthcare through digitalization in a wide sense is HealthTech. It’s about providing affordable tools to people all over the world for wider prevention, earlier diagnosis, and better treatment. From artificial intelligence to information technology, we include any digitalization/connected health solution in our definition of HealthTech.
