European entrepreneurs - it’s time to think bigger!

It’s time for European entrepreneurs to think bigger. Huge, in fact, and start building winning global businesses. The venture capital ecosystem is now well developed with both the expertise and capital needed for the next wave of tech giants to be born and then grow up in Europe. Entrepreneurs just need to unleash their full potential and resist the urge to sell before they’ve built a global success story.

Healthtech: Investing in the future

The healthcare industry as we know it is at the centre of a revolution. A data revolution. Faced with demands to improve efficiency and cut costs, while continuing to deliver the highest quality patient care and medical research, data — and specifically people’s ability to gain insights from it — is key to shaping healthcare’s future.

Investing in HealthTech: Aifloo’s winning combination of hardware and software

Today’s healthcare industry is under huge pressure from all sides. One of the most significant forces contributing to this squeeze is the growing ageing population. Thanks to medical advances, the number of people aged 60 or above is expected to more than double by 2050 to 2.1 billion. In Europe alone, a quarter of the population already falls into this age group. This has many implications for healthcare organizations, medical professionals, hospitals, and caregivers, as well as families and friends. To ensure that people stay happy, healthy and independent in their older age, healthtech now has to step up and play a vital role in propelling the healthcare industry into the future.
