Start-ups Meet Healthcare Providers announces the 2022 cohort

April 28, 2022

EIT Health RIH Germany-Switzerland welcomes 7 start-ups from across Europe to the 2022 edition of the Start-ups Meet Healthcare Providers programme.

The Start-ups Meet Healthcare Providers programme is a challenge-based acceleration programme that aims to bring to the table novel ideas that improve the practice of health care and scalable solutions that create transformational change for the field. This year two healthcare providers, Tartu University Hospital and Sanitas Group released challenges to jointly organize this year’s edition of the programme.

We are now pleased to announce that we have selected 7 start-ups that address this year´s challenges. Over the course of the following months, the start-ups from across Europe will take part in various training and workshops, spend dedicated time with the healthcare provider representatives to work on their solutions, and prepare for the Demo Day in September 2022.
