From 1,000 applicants narrowed down to 190 pitching candidates, MedTech Innovator selected the top 50 medical technology startups for its 2020 four-month-long Showcase and Accelerator Program. Pulling together the most transformative digital, diagnostic, and health technologies from around the world, the Accelerator offers a grand prize of $350,000 for the top company, and up to $500,000 in cash and in-kind prizes shared among finalists.
Program commencement began on June 25th, allowing the selected companies to collaborate with MedTech Innovator partners and meet with potential customers, providers, manufacturers, and investors. On October 5th, the final stages of the program will take place at The MedTech Conference, where all 50 companies present to Showcase panels.
“During these uncertain and challenging times, the need for health innovations — specifically those that promise to deliver long-term value to the health care system and patients — is more critical than ever,” said MedTech Innovator’s CEO, Paul Grand.
Four out of the 50 Companies compete for the Execution Award during the Med Tech Conference, and another four startups advance into the Grand Final competition where the winner is selected by audience vote. Other awards will be presented during this final conference including incubator space at Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABs which was a founding sponsor of the Accelerator.
