ScaleHealth, the international innovation hub for life sciences, launches in Belgium
ScaleHealth Belgium is a marketplace for all stakeholders to come together, including startups, academic institutions, investors, subject matter experts, and other members of the Belgian healthcare innovation ecosystem. Rather than compete, ScaleHealth Belgium aims to collaborate with multiple existing initiatives such as MedTech Flanders, Flanders.Healthtech, MedTeG, BHIC, imec and VIB. ScaleHealth Belgium aims to defragment the complicated landscape and together become a one-stop-shop for scaling related questions in the life sciences innovation space in Belgium and Europe.
ScaleHealth Belgium will allow Europe’s medical technology ecosystem to tap into ScaleHealth’s US community of 300+ member companies and 300+ investors, partners, and strategic relationships. Additionally, it will allow the community to access the vast number of payors, providers and other stakeholders within Belgium’s life sciences sector.
Housed at Orsi Academy, ScaleHealth Belgium is poised to expand rapidly and bring Belgium’s innovation to the world and the world’s innovation to Belgium. This is where a gateway to the United States of America, Asia and other European regions will form.
Well seasoned professionals in the Belgian Life Sciences scene are the Advisory Board members: Laurens Bouckaert (BxL BioComm US), Lucien De Busscher (EY), Delphine Hajaji (UCB Ventures), Peter Hinssen (nexxworks), Caroline Pallard (NLO - European Patent and Trademark Attorneys), Karin Scheerlinck (Surgi-Tec), Claire Tillekaerts (Flanders Investment & Trade - FIT), Bart van Hooland (Thia Ventures), Dr Geert Vandenbroucke (Orsi Academy), Prof. Pascal Verdonck (UGent - MedTech Flanders), Peter Verhaeghe (VVGB Law) and Hilde Windels (Antelope Dx).
Members will be able to join the community for free. They will get access to a curated and collaborative ecosystem to learn, partner, and scale. Every quarter ScaleHealth Belgium will identify the most promising startups. Selected Advisory Board members will provide them with tailor made guidance. ScaleHealth is not yet another incubator or ecosystem. It is a unique and pragmatic boutique scaling support community.
