Fast-track your health venture from Seed to Series A

What is the Accelerator program?

The MedTech Actuator Accelerator is Asia Pacific’s industry-led, investor-backed 9-month venture development program for early-stage MedTech, BioTech and HealthTech startups. The program will simultaneously accelerate your technology development, build your team’s capability and provide access to investment.

The program will be split into two phases:

Throughout the program, founders will have access to: 

– Dedicated industry mentors

– Experts-in-residence 

– Investors 

– Key industry leaders 

– Suppliers

– Government support agencies

At the end of the Accelerator, founders walk away with a clear strategic roadmap, skills and knowledge in healthtech commercialisation, and will have launched a capital raise round.
