1 A Star Track for the best connected health startups in the Nordics

2 Nordic Connected Health Star Track accelerates business development and international scaling of Nordic startups. The Nordic countries have excellent expertise within Life Sciences and unique knowledge about Connectivity (from radio technology to user interface, including sensors, imaging, cloud computing). With the help of established industries and governmental support, new innovative connected health solutions can grow and solve problems as well as create jobs. This is an opportunity we want to seize.

3 Together, innovation supporters in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, provide various strengths and a relevant network, to the top 50 startups in the Nordics within this segment. High potential startups get direct interaction with the mobile industry, life science industries, public as well as private health care providers and consumers. They get regulatory expertise within connected health, rapid prototyping, access to a variety of Nordic test beds, activities for successful internationalization and of course professional business advice. It is key for Nordic startups to reach international customers, distributors and investors, which is why we cooperate with Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto, and Wireless Life Sciences Alliance (WLSA) in San Diego. Nordic Connected Health Star Track is funded by the mobile industry in Mobile Heights and public agencies: Vinnova and Nordic Innovation.
