to better serve health and life sciences companies in Finland
Health Capital Helsinki and Upgraded are joining forces to better serve health and life sciences companies in Finland. The collaboration intends to deepen the understanding of the support needs of startups and scaleups, and to develop better services for them.
A significant part of the work Health Capital Helsinki does is related to supporting research initiatives and startups and helping them grow. We do this, for instance, by participating in the daily work at Health Incubator Helsinki, and by individually match-making startups and growth companies with the most relevant opportunities. Last year, for instance, we introduced 68 startups and research initiatives with international corporations or investors. 34 times they got an opportunity to pitch in various investor meetings.
To be able to even better serve health and life science companies, Health Capital Helsinki is now joining forces with Upgraded. The first thing we will do together is a survey to better understand companies’ needs. Stay tuned for a survey invitation from Upgraded!
“Upgraded is the natural choice to partner with”, says Health Capital Helsinki’s Senior Business Advisor Kaisu Sutinen.
“They know their member companies and have a can-do attitude that is necessary to achieve targets together.”
Later on, Upgraded and Health Capital Helsinki have plans to co-organise events to bring the community even better together and to enable encounters that may work as new seed for growth.
Upgraded is the natural choice to partner with.
