Start-Ups Meet Healthcare Providers (SMHCP) is a challenge-based accelerator program that connects promising start-ups to a variety of European healthcare providers, such as public/private hospitals, municipal health authorities, or health insurance companies. The aim of the program is to ease market access for start-ups by connecting them to healthcare providers that pose specific challenges from within their local health system.
