MultiplexDX Selected to Join Health Hub Vienna, One of Europe’s Premiere Accelerators
From more than 100 worldwide applicants, only 11 startups were selected for the second batch of Health Hub Vienna (HHV), a three-month intensive acceleration program. This batch is multinational, featuring participants from the USA, UK, Sweden, Israel, Belarus, Slovakia, Germany, and only 3 from Austria.
HHV is a platform for healthcare stakeholders who share a common vision: To change the healthcare system through innovation and entrepreneurship. To fulfill this goal, HHV supports biotech and medtech startups through an acceleration program, managed by INiTS—Vienna's leading high-tech incubator with a focus on life sciences. Today’s startups have a particularly difficult time in the healthcare sector. They are required to endure long testing periods and have more financial reserves than in other industries. Selling new technology is also a challenge, as the healthcare standards vary greatly from country to country. The aim of HHV is to speed up innovation, that these startups may overcome these difficult conditions.
Dr. Pavol Cekan, Founder and CEO of MultiplexDX, comments:
"Health Hub Vienna is one of the top 3 accelerators in Europe. Of course, it's an amazing opportunity for us to participate in this program and meet the industry’s best experts, mentors, investors, advisors, etc. It's a unique chance to get a new insight, upgrade our business model, build a powerful network, and progress much more quickly!"
In general, the HHV accelerator program is about new ideas, future challenges, driving transformations in healthcare, high-impact business models, regulations and certifications, investment strategies, and how to scale-up one’s business. The program ends 29 November, with the last two days focused on solidifying the opportunities discussed during the previous week’s one-on-one meetings. The HHV team strives to connect startups with new, important contacts identified during the preceding sessions.
