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 committed to improving society around you? Do you believe you can make a difference by blending sustainable business ideas with empathy and entrepreneurship? Then you should apply for the Startup Program, which this fall focuses on Healthtech – ideas and innovations within health & wellness, tackling health and wellness challenges.

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!

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.
