Calling all healthtech startups! Help Europe’s pharma industry solve healthcare challenges (Sponsored)

Have you always wanted to work with big pharma players, but couldn’t get access to them? Can your technologies/services help patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, Adult ADHD or Chronic Kidney Disease? And finally, are you up for a challenge? Then we have an opportunity for you.

The EIT Health Programme ‘Start-ups Meet Pharma’ is a challenge-based acceleration programme connecting key pharma partners in Europe with startups at the forefront of technology innovation.

In 2021, five pharma companies (Takeda, Abbot, Merck, Amgen and AstraZeneca) will open their innovation departments and explore collaborations with startups through the ‘Start-ups Meet Pharma’ programme. Past editions of the programme have ended with many NDAs signed, clinical trials kicked-off and collaborative projects in the works.

  1. Facilitate patients’ identification/screening in clinical trials (in collaboration with Amgen)
  2. Integrated care for chronic kidney disease patients (in collaboration with AstraZeneca)
  3. Digital remote monitoring and support solutions for patients living with multiple sclerosis (in collaboration with Merck)
  4. Digital and personalised health for adult ADHD (in collaboration with Takeda)
  5. Tools for monitoring loss of muscle, strength and/or physical function, to manage sarcopenia and frailty in the elderly (in collaboration with Abbott)
