Digital health is .
H+ is a cross-industry innovation programme focussing on digital health solutions.
As complementary partners, InsurTech Hub Munich and the dmac – Medical Valley Digital Health Application Center will support you in developing your business as well as getting access to the German healthcare market.
The H+ programme stimulates interdisciplinary collaboration by connecting international startups, corporations, SMEs, investors, universities, research institutes, and governmental as well as non-governmental organisations. It accelerates startups trough a modular curriculum, individually tailored mentoring and networking activities as well as a proven concierge business development methodology.
You will profit from dmac’s expertise and network in the healthcare sector and ITHM’s proven track-record in de-risking startups and enabling POCs within the insurance industry.

These 41 international startups have been selected to participate in the H+ Digital Health Innovation Programme

Benefits for entrepreneurs
Facts, Facts, Facts
The programme is equity-free. The only thing we ask of startups taking part in the H+ Programme is: commitment. Our goal is to help you to fulfil your success story.
International companies are more than welcome to join if they have an interest in one of the largest and most established health and insurance markets. Relocation is not required for the programme. However, we can connect you with ‘Invest in Bavaria’ and other relevant players if you are interested in doing so.
We are relatively stage-agnostic but think our programme would be a fit for startups with an MVP, from pre-seed to Series A.
A majority of meetings and workshops can and will be done virtually, but some important events will require personal attendance (if travel is permitted at the time). These events will take place in Munich and Erlangen / Nuremberg.
As we would like to get to know you better a pitch deck will be necessary for your application. However, it’s up to you if you prepare a video or slides.
Depending on corporate interest and applications, we are accepting up to 40 startups for the H+ Programme.
