For young companies there is a central contact point at MEDICA: the MEDICA START-UP PARK.

More than 40 start-up companies presented themselves at MEDICA in 2022. And for good reason: Many success stories start at MEDICA, because not only the international players and makers of the healthcare industry are represented, but also investors from healthcare accelerator programs, family offices and well-known venture capital funds.
