Bringing together health tech startups with investors

HealthTech Nordic hosted the HealthTech Nordic Investor Forum on October 24 at Sahlgrenska Science Park in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Investor Forum brings together 14 of the Nordics most promising startups in healthtech and 22 international investors interested in the fast-growing industry.
“This is the Nordic’s largest investor forum associated with digital health. This is unique in the Nordic region and a great opportunity for the selected investors and startups to meet in focused discussions,” says Carl-Peter Mattsson, Head of investor relations and capital issues, Sahlgrenska Science Park and HealthTech Nordic Investor Forum.
E-health on the rise
The HealthTech Nordic Investor Forum was running for the second consecutive year, and the interest from investors for the fast-growing healthtech industry has increased significantly compared to last year.
“The interest from investors has grown enormously only over the past year, which is why we increased the number of investors participating in this year’s forum. Healthtech is an industry that grows rapidly and we see many promising Nordic startups with the possibility to become the healthtech equivalent to Spotify or Klarna,” says Marianne Larsson, Project Manager for HealthTech Nordic and Director of New Industries and Innovation at Innovation Skåne.
