Empowering health tech startups to bring life-changing solutions faster to market.

Navigating regulatory approvals shouldn’t be a roadblock to innovation. Health Tech Pathways aims to streamline the journey through the use of AI-powered tools, expert guidance, and a collaborative community—making it faster, smarter, and more transparent.

How we aim to help

Supported by a five-year grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, we are developing a platform to streamline regulatory challenges and help European health tech startups bring solutions to market faster. While still in development, the platform will evolve with community feedback to address the critical needs of the health tech ecosystem and provide the tools and resources they need to scale effectively.

 

Tailored learning resources

Access tailored content like step-by-step guides, checklists, and expert insights. Whether you're new to regulations or experienced, our resources adapt to your expertise level.                                      

Interactive Community

Connect with industry peers, advisors, and collaborators through our dedicated community hub. Share experiences, seek advice, and build valuable relationships within the health tech ecosystem.                                                                       

Risk & Strategy Support

Evaluate potential regulatory risks early and develop actionable strategies. Our platform provides tools and expert guidance to help you navigate challenges and mitigate compliance hurdles with confidence.

AI-Powered Regulatory Tools

Help simplifying regulatory challenges for health tech startups by saving time, improving clarity, and supporting compliance processes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Common Challenges

Health tech startups face significant obstacles that can delay progress and stifle innovation.

✦︎ Regulatory Complexity
Certification timelines in Europe can take up to 18 months, far longer than the 8 months typical in the U.S. These delays slow growth and make the regulatory process overwhelming for startups.

✦︎ Lack of Transparency
The regulatory journey often lacks clear guidance, leaving startups unsure of the steps, resources, and standards required for compliance. This leads to wasted time and frustration.

✦︎ Limited Resources
Startups often struggle to secure the funding, expertise, and manpower needed to navigate regulatory hurdles. High compliance costs and limited access to resources make it difficult to compete in this fast-paced sector.

This highlights the need for better tools and support to help startups succeed.
