The Startup Program

We are looking for ideas and innovations that can contribute to a healthier and more sustainable society. Do you have an idea that could change the future? 🫶 🌏

Are you passionate about people’s well-being and care about the community around you? Do you believe you can make a difference by combining sustainable business ideas with compassion and entrepreneurship? Then you should apply for the Startup Program, which this fall is focused on health & well-being.

Good health and well-being is one of the UN’s global goals for sustainable development (Goal 3). Despite advances in medical technology and healthcare, there are still major inequalities in health outcomes that vary between nations, regions, and populations.

Through the Startup Program, we aim to find people and entrepreneurs with ideas in the field of health and well-being to foster innovation and improvements in these areas. We are looking for all kinds of ideas – big or small, local or global in scope. In the Startup Program, we will take you from idea to business concept, test and validate your solution, and last but not least – pitch!

8 Sessions – From Idea to Business Concept

As a participant in the Startup Program, you will develop your idea alongside other driven individuals and dedicated business developers. During the program, you will gain access to the tools you need to take the next step with your business idea, gain new insights and knowledge, and tap into valuable networks. There will be inspirational lectures, workshops, and individual coaching with Science Park’s business developers. You will also have access to Science Park’s coworking spaces throughout the entire program.

The program concludes with the Impact Demo Day, an idea competition where you will pitch your solution to a jury and compete for a prize of 10,000 SEK in development funds from the Jönköping County Growth Foundation.
