The 12 teams picked out by Startupbootcamp Digital Health will try to come up with innovative solutions for major problems that are plaguing the global healthcare market.
Startupbootcamp Digital Health is associated with acceleration of digital health startups. They are based in Berlin, Germany. They have branches all over the globe. They do a lot of activities to boost the digital health startups. They organize meetings with corporates and investors, provide them with funding, refer them to alumni, etc.
This year, they have selected more than 3,000 digital health startups and had shortlisted around 20 of them after various rigorous procedures. The 20 shortlisted startups were then made to meet with the corporates, investors and subject specialists. After all this, the final 12 digital health startups for 2018 were selected.
The selected startups would get a huge amount of capital investment, have access to Startupbootcamp’s mentors and form valuable and profitable partnerships.
A three-month programme would be conducted to provide the necessary resources, guide the entrepreneurs and networking opportunities to the selected finalists.
The accelerator has a lot of tough and rigorous procedures to select the teams since they have to be qualified enough to receive all the benefits. The team must be very honest and sincere about their proposed solutions for real-time problems and must not fabricate any details or come up with an improvised solution for an issue, based on the health sector.
