Coalition Next is an open ecosystem of partners working together to accelerate the implementation of digital innovations in the world. We do not operate as a startup accelerator that invests in startups to raise equity. Each member of the Coalition Next makes its own business case to set up a pilot. When multiple members are interested in implementing a digital health solution, a joint business case can lead to a partnership in which private companies bear some costs.
Each business case is project specific. Project costs will be studied on a case-by-case principle.
Coalition Next is not a startup accelerator that invests in startups to raise equity. Coalition Next is an open ecosystem of partners working together to accelerate the implementation of digital innovations in healthcare systems. Private companies could help fund the piloting of a solution, but it is not guaranteed upfront.
An innovative company can apply in any country! Each Next Coalition committee will examine each applicant against the eligibility and selection criteria in the same way, even if the company is not domiciled in the same country of deployment.
The innovative companies eligible to apply are the following:• Companies• Foundations• Associations
The main ambition of Coalition Next is to pilot solutions in hospitals and home care organisations in the short term (within 9-12 months). Solutions must have reached a certain level of maturity and at least be able to set up a "real-life" pilot. Coalition Next members must understand your legal, clinical, and technical readiness before starting a project.
As Coalition Next members are looking for solutions to be implemented in the short term, it's essential to be very realistic and pragmatic in your presentation. If in doubt, don't hesitate to contact the Coalition Next managers in each country.
