Many good and promising ideas for new medical technology products (MedTech) arise in the Northern Netherlands, both from institutions as well as from young startups and experienced entrepreneurs. A large number, however, do not get beyond the idea phase because the development of MedTech products is complex and time consuming. The demands of the market are high, and regulations are strict. Rarely do these ideas reach the level desired by investors and industry, while they in turn find assessing feasibility challenging. Idea owners are looking for easy access to the knowledge and experience that is readily available in the region but are rarely able to pay for it directly. AccelMed North offers the innovative solution: it makes regionally MedTech knowledge and experience available to idea owners in an accessible and objective way!
