“Collaborations in healthcare can help to break through boundaries of access to solutions that help people live longer and healthier. And this is why initiatives like Startup Creasphere are so crucial for us. " Dr. Thomas Schinecker
CEO Roche Group
“Since the launch in 2018, Startup Creasphere has created a lasting impact on patients and the healthcare ecosystem. Together with Roche, we have built this platform from the ground up.

Shaping healthcare for better outcomes for both patients and society is our bold ambition, which we seek to accomplish with like-minded partners. That is why we strongly believe in open digital ecosystems and collaborations with innovative companies to improve patient care together.
