Registrations Open for Health and Life Sciences Start-up Accelerator

INNO, the innovation and investment attraction department of the North-West Regional Development Agency, is launching a new edition of the LevelUP Health & Life Sciences Accelerator, dedicated to start-ups in the health and life sciences sectors. Within the accelerator, start-ups will receive free support from experts on topics such as customer discovery and understanding, solution development and validation, attracting funding, obtaining certifications, and pitching.

Registrations are open until September 25th and can be made by completing this form. Eligible start-ups must be in the early stages (1-5 years), offer an innovative solution in the health or life sciences field, and operate in the North-West region. Additionally, they must have an established company or plan to establish one by the end of the program.

The accelerator offers a structured five-month program, combining acceleration sessions, individual mentorship, and specialized consulting. The acceleration meetings, held every two weeks, are collaborative workspaces where teams present their progress, receive feedback, and participate in theoretical training and practical workshops. Throughout the program, start-ups will be guided by experienced mentors and will have access to free consultancy tailored to each team’s needs.

At the end of the accelerator, start-ups will have the opportunity to present their solutions to a jury and an audience of investors, experts, and potential clients.
