Applications for ACTION Innovation Network's first online cohort for its Pre-Landing program for international startups in Healthcare are being accepted until July 15th, with the main program running in September. This edition of the Pre-Landing program will support companies in the areas of Therapeutics, Medical Devices and Digital Health. It will prepare international startups to raise funds in the US and connect with the health innovation ecosystem in Massachusetts/New England. The program will be offered in two phases. Phase I will be presented in an online format, while international travel restrictions remain tight. The online agenda includes one day of digital RESI in September, for startups to schedule one-on-one virtual meetings with investors that are looking for their technologies. Phase II offers a three day on-site visit to ACTION's life science incubators and in-person meetings with industry experts, once startups are comfortable traveling again. If you know of an international startup that may benefit from this program, please forward the detailed agenda and application. The program is made possible in part by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration through a 2018 RIS i6 grant awarded to ACTION Innovation Network.
