Relentless execution
towards market success

A specialised
acceleration model

Bringing a MedTech, HealthTech or BioTech innovation to market is complicated and requires an industry-specific acceleration model.

Like startups in other sectors, you’ll likely be developing software. But as a life sciences startup, you must also design and manufacture a physical product, navigate clinical trials, regulatory submissions, reimbursement models and multiple customer and stakeholder groups. This level of complexity is the reason why developing a MedTech startup up to series A can often take 3 years or more and requires access to a broad ecosystem of skills and capabilities.

The MedTech Actuator’s
ecosystem model

Since launching in January 2018, MedTech Actuator has seen unapparelled success in its contribution to the deep-tech ecosystem of Victoria. With 50+ active startups raising over $62M of early-stage capital, 16 products on market and 5 companies now actively moving towards advanced manufacturing, we are reaping the benefits of an ecosystem model of innovation and commercialisation.

Instead of you having to chase and assemble the various components of this ecosystem individually, we surround you with a dense network of partners – from hospitals to world-leading research institutes, from regulation, reimbursement and intellectual property experts to multinational corporations, from product development firms to investors and more.

Embedded in the MedTech Actuator™ ecosystem, you’ll radically advance your technology development, raise seed capital and build critical business and management skills. By the end of this intense 12-month journey, you’ll be road hardened, de-risked and ready to raise a successful series A round.
