We are a global digital health innovation challenge that connects startups with industry-leading corporate partners to drive the goal of Transforming Healthcare Together.
We offer startups, corporates and partners an environment within our global ecosystem to co-create solutions and services, drive investments, learn and share experiences, and facilitate international expansion.
We have a unique pilot-driven focus: All startups selected into our 3-month Startup Creasphere program work on dedicated pilot projects with our corporate partners.
Established by Roche and Plug and Play in Munich in 2018, Startup Creasphere was the first health focused innovation program in Europe to connect startups with industry-leading corporate partners to pilot their technology and drive new digital health solutions. Leveraging the existing Plug and Play health innovation program in the Silicon Valley that was launched in 2015, we introduced a digital health innovation hub in the US in a next step. Following the success of program in the two existing locations, we launched our third location in Singapore in 2020.
Today, we run an integrated program across all three locations as well as innovation challenges for specific healthcare areas.
In our integrated program across the three locations Munich, Silicon Valley, and Singapore, we want to co-create and test new solutions in specific healthcare systems and gain a deep understanding of technologies.
In addition to the chance to pilot a concept or solution within a well-organized co-creation framework, the startups benefit from a mentoring program and networking opportunities globally. At the end of the 3-month program, startups and pilot owners jointly decide on the future cooperation.
The challenges focus on specific areas of healthcare for which we search for startups and hospital projects with a working solution ready to be tested with real patients.
Following with a call for applications, the selected startups and hospitals that meet the requirements receive support in the form of mentoring and workshops on various topics during the Innovation Challenge program.
