We advised clients with sucess rate of 94,3% based on thoroughly researched market insights, proven methods, expert knowledge, and tapping our network of trusted experts.

Case 1
Fast tracking reimbursement for new homecare device

We developed a reimbursement strategy for a new MedTech homecare device, by focusing on systemic deficits in current treatments. The fast acceptance by leading insurers allowed the company to start commercializing its technology.

Case 2
Innovative business model for cell therapy manufacturing

We worked with a NASDAQ-listed Biotech company to design a business model for their point-of-care cell therapy manufacturing technology, including co-development and license sharing of innovative therapies. The strong customer value proposition drove the subsequent rollout at world leading sites in US and Europe, positively impacting shareholder value.

Case 3
Early sales for eHealth startup

We created a market entry strategy for an Israeli voice analytics start-up, including identification of foothold segments and early adopters. A strong socioeconomic value case helped us win investment from German health insurers, accelerating time to first revenue for the company.

Case 4
Pivoting an AI analytics startup

We led a crucial pivot for Norwegian AI analytics startup, by creating a spinoff product and new business model. The new product’s value proposition was embraced by hospitals, and our business plan resulted to new VC investment and public grants totaling €5m.

Entering the European Health Market can be complicated.
