We are delighted to share an opportunity for companies in Life Sciences, MedTech and Digital Health looking to enter the U.S. market. 

Applications are open for WorldUpstart’s US Market Gateway Accelerator

The latest cohort set a high standard: two out of ten companies launched pilot projects in the U.S. during the program, and others continue to evolve their strategies with the guidance of esteemed mentors and investors. Impressively, 26 of 64 alumni have expanded operations into the U.S. market, with eight securing FDA approvals in just the last three years. That’s a 40% success rate.

The upcoming program promises to be equally impactful with online sessions scheduled from September 9th to October 16th. The Accelerator includes a crucial in-person component on October 28th-29th in Philadelphia, providing hands-on experience and networking opportunities. Additionally, participants gain entry to the Mid-Atlantic’s premier investment conference, PACT, on October 30th, an event that could be pivotal for funding and strategic partnerships.

WorldUpstart empowers innovators to scale in the U.S. and achieve success.

Deadline to apply is May 31st. Applications are reviewed when received.
