A total of almost 7,000 m² of flexible and representative office space is available. In the Medical Valley Centers in Erlangen and Forchheim, you will sit alongside with other startups and growth companies and have daily access to our Medical Valley team and service portfolio.

In the last few years many startup programs have been established: bootcamps, hackathons, business plan competitions or accelerator programs. We help you identify the right ones for your respective business situation.

We support you in finding the right investors for your company – during all startup stages and beyond. We are connected to relevant healthcare investors, such as angel investors, VC funds, corporate VCs or equity crowdfunding providers.

For you, we scout for the right funding programs at state, federal and EU level. Since 2010, we have raised more than 150 million € in funding for our partners. An overview of current funding opportunities can be found here.

We are directly linked to partners in industry, research, healthcare and politics, so we can introduce you to potential business partners.

If you are looking for suitable partners to bring your idea or startup to life, Medical Valley GmbH can co-found startups as a startup factory. This means, for example, if you are a doctor or researcher with ideas that are ready for commercialization, but you wish to remain a doctor or researcher, we can – in selected cases -, jointly found a startup. In the last three years we have actively participated in three medical technology startups and have taken on management duties.

To successfully launch your medical device on the market, a precise and accurate planning of your regulatory strategy is indispensable. We will provide guidance to help you find the right person for the approval of your product. Moreover, we can also help you with your reimbursement strategy. We are affiliated with numerous public and private health insurance companies in Germany and offer unique medical, technical and health economic validation support with our dmac (Digital Medical Application Center).

Are you looking for a way to access international markets? We make sure that you don’t have to go down this road alone by determining potential markets in advance and transparently highlighting relevant conditions. Market analysis, development of regulatory strategies and on-site visits help you to develop a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges of the target country.
If you are interested in entering the German market, we are also there to assist you. We can provide you with essential information about the German market and the healthcare system and work out the optimal project plan together with you.
