Twenty scale-ups selected for EIT Health Bridgehead 2023

11/08/2023

On 28 July 2023, the EIT Health announced the selection of twenty healthcare scale-ups to receive customised assistance to expand their businesses internationally through the Bridgehead programme in 2023. The selected scale-ups represent a diverse range of healthcare technologies, from medical imaging to exoskeletons.

Each scale-up selects its preferred target regions across the globe and is then matched with the most suitable incubator or accelerator that meets its specific requirements and needs to enter new markets. Together, they devise strategies to access these new markets quickly and decisively, tapping into local networks of partners and clients, accessing essential infrastructure, and understanding new regulatory systems.

Among the 20 scale-ups, there is one from Czechia:

Adiquit, Digital Health: Mobile phone quit-smoking app based on scientific knowledge and real clinical practice. A systematic support of a virtual therapist is available 24/7. It reacts to the user’s opinions and needs. It will guide them through the quitting process and help to overcome the withdrawal symptoms.

EIT Health’s Bridgehead programme brings together health entrepreneurs who want to grow their business in the European market with top incubators and accelerators with the expertise and resources to make it happen.

More information on the selected scale-ups is here.
