MedTech Actuator Accelerator Australia is supported by LaunchVic.

 


What is the Accelerator?

We’ll help you grow your MedTech, HealthTech, and BioTech startup faster and smarter. Unlike other accelerators, we understand the unique challenges of the healthcare sector, from navigating regulatory hurdles to securing investor backing. Here’s what sets us apart:

Expert Support

Learn from experienced founders and industry leaders, who have successfully navigated healthcare technology commercialisation. Access one-on-one mentoring from MedTech Actuator’s pool of mentors, to address your specific challenges and achieve your goals.

Investor-Ready

You’ll develop a complete data room, making sure your approach is aligned with investor expectations, giving you a competitive edge when raising capital.

Strategic Milestones

A milestone-driven approach with regular accountability check-ins keeps you focussed and moving forward.

Born Local, Grow Global

Start strong with 15 like-minded founding teams, then scale your impact with MedTech Actuator’s global network of over 150 partners, investors and mentors from across the APAC region.


Is Your Startup Ready for the Accelerator?

We’re looking for Australian-based early-stage MedTech, BioTech, and HealthTech startups.

From diagnostics and robotics to AI, personal preventative medicine, and telemedicine, we want to work with startups that will make a real difference. We focus on technologies with strong IP protection, market potential, and a commitment to healthcare innovation

We’re equipped to support innovations across the broad spectrum of human health interventions, but our focus is on innovations used in clinical settings with a regulated pathway to market. If your technology has the potential to impact lives, and you’re ready to accelerate your development, you could be the perfect fit for our program. 

We accept applications from startups that are in the process of establishing their company structure, or will do so before the commencement of the program. 

If unsure about your fit or eligibility, register to attend the Information Session, or reach out to our Program Lead, Lizzie.
