Polish startups getting better at medical innovation

The two years of the pandemic were a time of rapid adoption of digital solutions in medicine and the development of areas such as telemedicine, wearables, and digital patient care. As a result, healthcare startups are also doing increasingly well. The rapid aging of the population is also an essential factor contributing to this.

"As the Rock Health report shows, 2021 was a landmark year for healthcare startups. We had more than 730 investments with a total value of $30 billion. This shows how big the demand is, which was further increased by the Covid-19 pandemic,"  Natalia Świrska-Załuska, Startup Program Manager CEE at OVHcloud, said.

"In Poland, access to healthcare startups' funding is still insufficient, while this is changing. Polish funds increasingly see the need to invest in this segment," Natalia Świrska-Załuska added.

This change has been driven not only by the past two years of the Covid-19 pandemic but also by the population's progressive aging, increasing the demand for digital solutions in healthcare. Polish startups are doing well in creating such solutions and are increasingly well positioned on the international stage.
