Epigenica chosen for EIT Health Scandinavia

Epigenica is proud to have become one of five Swedish start-ups selected to accelerate on the French Precision health market. Through EIT Health Scandinavia and the Swedish-French Accelerator, Epigenica will receive tailor made support during 12 months by EIT Health experts and the French partner network to access the French ecosystem, develop new collaborations and accelerate their solutions on the French market.

From EIT Health:

During the launch meeting in Stockholm on 16 November, the five companies will be introduced to the Swedish and French life science and healthcare ecosystem and will pitch their solution to the Health Innovation Agency, Secrétariat général pour l’investissement and PariSanté Campus where five major public players in scientific research and innovation in digital health are based.

The companies will exhibit and network in Paris at the world’s largest start-up campus, Station F and participate in the AI for Health. They will also  participate in a round table on the harmonisation of Digital Medical Device evaluation in collaboration with French partners such as Digital Medical hub, Strammer, Voisin Consulting, In Extenso and Angels Santé. 

Today, society’s resources are mainly spent on diagnosis and treatment, and very little on promotion and preventive measures. There are great opportunities to save money and give more people a longer life in health if we think differently. Earlier and more accurate diagnosis enables more effective treatment, which is of great value to individuals as well as for the economy.

As a country, Sweden invests three percent of the national GDP in research and innovation. Supported by unique national registers, monitored health data, and robust research infrastructure, Sweden has a proven ability to transform multi-disciplinary research into products and commercial growth. 99 % of all prescriptions in Sweden are digital and Sweden is the most innovative country in the EU and has overtaken the United States as the world’s second most innovative economy in 2023.
