This year, the EIT Health LaunchLab will once again be hosted by BioM in Martinsried from October 9 to 12. With the LaunchLab, EIT Health, in cooperation with European incubators and cluster organizations, offers an eight-week intensive program for aspiring entrepreneurs from across Europe who want to test the feasibility of their business idea. The program supports participants in developing their respective business concepts and validating them in various European markets.
This intensive training is specifically aimed at founding teams from the MedTech/Healthcare sector with early innovative ideas that address one or more of EIT Health's goals:
- Promoting a healthy lifestyle
- Supporting active aging
- Improving healthcare
In numerous discussions with experts, potential customers and investors, the teams have the opportunity to test and refine their concepts.
