Ten start-ups granted funding to leverage health data business opportunities
Ten SMEs have been selected to be funded and to participate in the EIT Health Digital Sandbox Programme. Chosen from around 30 applicants, the winners come from all over Europe and will receive funding and support that will help them in the development of relevant products and services through the involvement of, and collaboration with biobanks, sample holders and health registers in Europe.
The European Business Creation programme Digital Sandbox is lead by EIT Health Scandinavia, and has strong synergies with the Scandinavian strategic initiative Biobanks & Registers in Transition.
The selected SMEs represent solutions in biotech, medtech and digital health. Their innovations address a range of challenges, such as within infectious disease disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, AI cancer diagnostics and genomics data, breast and prostate cancer, melanoma.
The Digital Sandbox programme gives SMEs as much as €35 .000 in funding to help them leverage the possibilities of the "health data business" by developing new products and services that take advantage of biobanks, sample holders and quality registers in Europe.
