About:

The European Health Catapult (EHC) is a training and competition platform, jointly organized by EIT Health and Health Axis Europe, that includes several opportunities to present your company in front of experts and international investors. Find here the information brochure for 2019

It awards the best-of-the-best business concepts  from medtech, biotech and digital health across Europe. EHC sources and accelerates 21 European start-ups in biotech, medtech and digital health that  get high-quality training in business plan modelling, deal negotiation and pitch training, as well as a facilitated access to top level investors. The competition passes through three stages:
 

The start-ups will be involved in the EIT Health network of world leading medtech, biotech, pharma and IT companies and world class research organizations in health care as well as the EIT Health Investors Network that unites international investors (VCs, Corporate VCs, Business Angel, and Crowd Investors).
