Earlier this year, Brinc announced a partnership with Future Health to launch a Singapore & Hong Kong cross-border MedTech accelerator program to invest in startups developing HealthTech and MedTech solutions for the Asian market. The program aims to support Seed to Series A stage startups, focusing on an industry that will require additional attention in a post-COVID era.
The program will support startups that either have a significant customer base in Asia or aspire to enter the Asian market. Startups accepted into the 3-month accelerator program will receive a cash investment of up to USD $250,000 and will be provided with a custom-designed curriculum to help them navigate specific points of failure in the industry and reach critical developmental milestones. Accepted teams will also have access to Brinc and Future Health Asia’s growing network of partners in the healthcare space — supporting a significant program objective will be to help them explore and secure commercial opportunities with hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and other healthcare providers across APAC. Furthermore, participating startups will benefit from Brinc’s global network of late-stage investors and will also receive a startup perks package valued at over USD $250,000.
Together, Brinc & Future Health aim to identify the solutions that are perfectly suited to support the innovation that is required to transition this industry into an advanced and connected healthcare ecosystem. Sign up here to get notified when we begin accepting applications for our next cohort.
Brinc is excited to launch its inaugural summit during this year’s StartmeupHK Festival. Special thank you to the StartmeupHK and Invest Hong Kong team for their support of our summit.
