Last week, Rockstart presented the ten Digital Health Accelerator startups at Demo Day in Nijmegen. This year’s startups were able to take full advantage of the highly innovative healthcare ecosystem Nijmegen provides. During the program, the founders have been engaging and working with experienced mentors, healthcare professionals, and partners to help validate and scale their businesses.

Anticipation and Validation

With Demo Day being the final milestone towards the end of the 180-day program, stakes were high and emotions boiling. Ten startups from four continents gathered in De Vasim, an event space in a converted industrial building, to share their vision in front of the press, alumni, partners, and investors, on how they want to make a sustainable impact on people’s health. According to Rune Theill, CEO and co-founder of Rockstart, “the purpose of the Demo Day is to get everybody excited about the ten startups. We know that established businesses are really good at executing existing business models, but when it comes to to innovating and doing something new, they actually suck at it. We focus on the startups, and we bring them closer to the corporations, and hopefully the magic will happen.”

Rockstart Know-How and Dutch Healthcare system

Entrepreneurship and innovation is a necessary means to to make an impact, especially in digital health. After all pitches concluded, Casper Smeets, program director of the accelerator said, “We were looking for the world’s best digital health founders. I really believe that with the know-how of Rockstart, combined with the Dutch healthcare ecosystem, this is the place to be. I think the startups did an amazing job. If you look at where we were a few weeks ago, they had amazing stories, businesses were tight, so I’m really happy with the outcome.”
