Building the Life-Science Ecosystem @ Henkel | Ex-McKinsey | Biotechnologist & MBA

Only 1 in 10.000 visually impaired persons has access to a guide dog. Everyone else needs to revert to mostly insufficient solutions to navigate their environment.... 👉 At the MedX competition in Düsseldorf, that was only one of the challenges in #health addressed by start-ups to transform lives to the better. 👉In total, 12 innovative healthcare startups presented their solutions.The winners, soon to be announced, will earn a coveted booth at #Medica #STARTUP PARK! A perfect platform for startups to highlight their innovations and connect with industry leaders. 👏 A huge thank you to all the startups for their dedication and passion—you are driving the future of healthcare! At Henkel #LifeSciences, we are committed to fostering innovation and collaboration in healthcare. Let's continue to celebrate and support the future of medical technology!

Hi Alexander Rehn - love the challenge! On the topic: have a look at AYES - a start-up team on a mission of making daily life accessible for blind and visually impaired people, through the comfort of their own phones. Recently they took home Apple's Inclusive Design Award for 2024 with their app OKO. Within 2 years time they have been able to safely support more than 3.000.000 street crossings!👨🦯  Worth having a chat with the team: Willem - Vincent - Michael !

Indeed, cool solutions in the pitch 🚀🚀🚀
