BlueHealth Antwerp: a breeding ground for an innovative economy
BlueHealth coaches startups from their business plan to the moment they secure their first customers. This is done by transfer of knowledge and expertise, financial support and the development of a network. A study of the city of Antwerp showed that the eHealth industry has a need for networking, matchmaking, incubation and acceleration. That is where BlueHealth Antwerp comes in. In the long term, this partnership within eHealth should give entrepreneurship a shot in the arm.
