New Startup Showcase with Santé Cité and 3 accelerated startups

Posted on by Admin-CK

WILCO organized a new Startup Showcase with our partner Santé Cité. An ideal opportunity to present innovative solutions to hospital management.

As the private hospital sector is restructured and offers are concentrated in favor of national operators, Santé Cité’s ambition is to federate independent private clinics that see their establishments as local businesses with local, entrepreneurial governance.

 

During the videoconference, 5 hospital structures belonging to the ecosystem of our partner Santé Cité were present: Hôpital Privé Nord Parisien, Groupe Francheville Périgord Santé, Cliniques d’Ajaccio, Groupe Louis Pasteur Santé Lorraine and Clinique Saint Privat.

 

3 startups accelerated by WILCO (Sancare, ASISPO and Moment Care) were introduced to these structures. Bertrand Caron, Thomas Gouritin, Julian Melero, Michael Serres, Tanguy Morel were on hand to deepen discussions during the pitch and Q&A.

A big thank you to Bénédicte Le Mouël, Deputy Director, Santé Cité, for all his support, and to all the participants for making the discussions so productive.

Sylvie Troy, Assistant Medical Director at Pfizer France, shares her experience during the tailored acceleration program in partnership with WILCO

Posted on by Admin-CK

5 e-health startups benefited from a 9-month acceleration program that brought together the founder, a WILCO Entrepreneur Mentor and Pfizer Mentor. Together, they exchanged, collaborated and innovated.

Both Pfizer France and WILCO are committed to accelerating, experimenting and innovating to change patients’ lives. This is why WILCO decided to collaborate on the Pfizer Healthcare Hub France.

5 promising startups (Kiro, Klineo, Tracify, I-Virtual and Sancare) benefited from a unique double mentoring program aimed at developing their solutions and boosting their deployment on a larger scale.

 

Pfizer France chose to partner with an innovation acceleration like WILCO to complement their pharmaceutical expertise. With a support methodology proven since 2012 on over a thousand projects, WILCO brought entrepreneurial know-how to help the startups accelerate their growth. The founders all benefited from comprehensive operational support:

  • 360° thematic diagnosis of their startup covering operations, financing, sales, marketing/communication
  • 6 boards with the Startup Manager and a WILCO Entrepreneur Mentor focused on their entrepreneurial challenges
  • DWork sessions with the Startup Manager and a mentor from Pfizer looking at e-health market challenges
This alliance between a major corporation, innovation accelerator and startup was a huge success. This kind of collective intelligence approach accelerates technological innovation to change patients’ lives.
Guillemets - Bleu

As part of this support program, we issued calls for projects in the areas we’re interested in and the selected startups provided innovative solutions to address key issues.

 

We approached WILCO for their experience, expertise, startups sourcing, methodology and other assets, which complement our expertise in the healthcare field.

 

Pfizer employees were very involved in the PHH program: around 40 participated in the selection phases and 5 employees were mentors for the startups.
