The EIC Medtech Portfolio includes the world’s most advanced life-saving medical devices and instruments, to diagnose and treat. Neural prosthesis that replace damaged brain areas, portable PET brain-imaging systems for rapid in-situ diagnosis, compact proton therapy systems for oncological treatment, technologies to improve survival after cardiac arrest, virtual-reality in surgery for safer procedures, EEG-enabled personalised treatment of depression,… The sky is the limit at EIC. Enric Claverol-Tinture is reponsible for the Medtech portfolio at EIC. In this session he will briefly present the new portfolio-focused management approach and our funding strategy in the coming future for medtech. With active management EIC seeks to support projects all the way from idea inception to market deployment, and to do so with coherence across projects and with focus on the fastest possible route to delivering the technologies to the patient. (10 minutes) A panel including three industrial and financial stakeholders will discuss the future in medtech and more specifically what they are looking for in projects to consider them investable (35 minutes).
