Good health and well-being are part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 3). Despite advancements in medical technology and healthcare, challenges like an aging population, youth mental health issues, loneliness, inactivity, and digital exclusion continue to grow.

Through the Startup Program, we aim to find individuals who want to make a difference with their ideas – for a healthier society. We welcome all ideas, big or small, with potential impact locally or globally.

In the Startup Program, you’ll go from concept to business idea, testing and verifying, and finally – pitching!

    The Startup Program is an intensive program for anyone with an idea that can make the world and the future a little brighter. Maybe you’re studying or working in healthcare? Or perhaps you’re involved in services related to wellness and health? You’ve probably encountered areas, services, or products that sparked ideas for improvements and innovations.

    If you have an idea that can make a positive impact – then you should apply for the Startup Program.

    What Are We Looking For?

    We’re seeking individuals or teams who genuinely want to make a difference and have an idea that can contribute to creating solutions and services in health & well-being. 🙌 We’re looking for ideas with the potential to evolve into business models.
