Amsterdam, NL, January 25, 2025 – ScaleNL, Cedars-Sinai Accelerator and NBSO Los Angeles, announce the four selected early-stage startups that will be participating in the second edition of ScaleNL program focused solely on the innovations in health care – HealthTech Mini-Accelerator 2025 program.
This year, the program was strategically designed as an exclusive, small cohort to provide the selected startups with highly tailored, one-on-one support. The HealthTech Mini-Accelerator is the first ScaleNL program to focus solely on innovations in healthcare, reflecting a joint effort to champion the US expansion of promising Dutch companies in the industry.
The program spans three weeks and culminates in a five-day immersion trip to Los Angeles, a thriving hub for HealthTech. During the in-person trip, the four companies will connect with key experts, mentors, and professionals from the Cedars-Sinai network. This allows them to build a crucial US-based network and gain direct insights into the US healthcare landscape.
A core component of the mini-accelerator is its mentorship-driven approach. Participants will receive hands-on guidance from industry leaders and take part in a curated series of workshops and lectures. This intensive focus on product development, growth, and market traction is designed to facilitate a successful and efficient entry into the US healthcare market.
