MedTech Growth has begun – meet the 13 startups

The starting signal has just sounded for DTU Science Park’s new acceleration program, MedTech Growth, created with support from the Danish Industry Foundation. The program is tailored to support ambitious MedTech startups on their growth journey. Thirteen carefully selected startups are ready to embark on an intensive and educational journey designed to equip them to run healthy and scalable businesses.

Over the coming year, participants in the MedTech Growth program will strengthen their foundation for success. The program offers tailored support that not only helps companies navigate common business challenges but also addresses the specific requirements and barriers within the MedTech sector. Regulatory strategies and reimbursement play a central role here. 

After many months of thorough preparation, the program has finally launched, and the 13 startups can look forward to an intensive course designed to tackle the specific challenges that MedTech companies often face. The program builds on the experience of DTU Science Park’s previous successful acceleration programs, and the ambition is clear: to help more MedTech startups scale and achieve success nationally and internationally. 

Signe Blad Johnsen, CCO of DTU Science Park, expresses great enthusiasm about the program’s start: 

It’s fantastic to see the MedTech Growth program come to life! Together with the Danish Industry Foundation, we have created an acceleration program focusing on MedTech startups’ key challenges, especially concerning market access and regulatory requirements. From our many years of working with startups, we know that these areas are crucial for growth, and MedTech Growth will ensure that companies have access to the best experts in the field. I look forward to welcoming future groundbreaking MedTech solutions here at DTU Science Park
