Future Health to launch health entrepreneur programme

Future Health and Bridge for Billions said they will launch a programme to support health entrepreneurs in emerging markets, with a first phase targeting about 50 entrepreneurs in Africa and Asia.

The organisations said the programme is aimed at late-incubation to early-acceleration health ventures. They said participants will receive tailored support, including work on regulatory navigation, health-system integration, business-model validation and investor readiness.

A smaller group is expected to be selected later for an acceleration phase in Abu Dhabi, with access to regulators, healthcare providers, research institutions and investors there.

Future Health and Bridge for Billions said applications, eligibility criteria and further programme details will be announced at a later stage.
