We are incredibly excited to introduce you to teams that make up the MedTech Actuator Accelerator cohort 7. Over the next 12 months, startups will be provided intensive support to help them develop the skills, networks, and resources needed to successfully navigate the complex BioMed commercialisation pathway.
Powering through the comprehensive application process involving first interviews, due diligence, and the Innovation Assessment Board pitch, startups in Cohort 7 (2022-2023 program) are now primed and ready to kick off their Accelerator journey.
Throughout the program, startups will connect to the extensive MedTech Actuator health innovation ecosystem. Over 100 speakers, over 150 business, clinical and investment mentors, and our impressive alumni network will contribute their expertise to help these startups grow. Over $1M has been allocated to help teams in Cohort 7 bring their innovation to the market faster, and to prepare them for early-stage investment rounds.
Cohort 7 startups come from all across Australia, with teams joining from Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. 80% are innovating in the MedTech space – a significant increase from the last two years dominated by HealthTech, and more than 50% of startups in the cohort are female-led.
“We are thrilled to support new startups pursuing their innovative ideas to improve the lives of patients. The cohort is bringing a great variety of products this time ranging from healthtech marketplace to bacteriophage-based products and to a new generation of medical devices which we are particularly excited about,” says Maria Pelipas, Head of Programs
