The renowned European Health Catapult lifts the best-of-the-best business concepts from medtech, biotech and digital health with Europe's leading healthcare start-up competition.
European Health Catapult is a training and competition programme that supports the development of top-notch European health start-ups through exposure to leading experts and international investors. The programme identifies and accelerates 42 European start-ups in medtech, biotech and digital health, and gives them high-quality training in improving their business plan modelling, deal negotiation and pitching, as well as a facilitated access to top level investors.

The top three start-ups in each category – medtech, biotech and digital – will be awarded €10 000 - €40 000.
