What are we offering?

We offer start-ups the chance to come and test their services and solutions at our Living Labs in a real-life healthcare setting. Our Living Labs are located within each of our markets, specifically France, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

At the Living Lab, the start-ups will have access to real people, real staff, and real patients plus essential resources needed to succeed in healthcare, such as access to our domain experts in the medical, legal, innovation, and the data field.

Our goal is primarily to scale the start-ups services and solution to other sites / locations within Ramsay Santé, secondly, to potentially see the start-up grow its business with other customers. This will depend on whether the start-up meets the key success criteria specified for the process of acceleration.

It is a pre-requisite that start-ups joining our accelerator program enters into a Framework Agreement for the Accelerator Program, which will govern all aspects of our collaboration, covering among other things: Financial Conditions, Commercial Agreements, Business Agreements, IP rights, Personal Data Protection, Confidentiality, Security, Audit, Liabilities etc.

Program Phases and Timeline:

For each cohort, the companies will go through four phases: “pre-screening”, “selection”, “planning” and “test & launch” phase.

1. Pre-Screening:

During the pre-screening process, start-ups will be pre-screened based on the above-mentioned company characteristics. About four to six companies will be selected to proceed to the selection process.

2. Selection process:

During the selection process, start-ups will be required to pitch in front of our Selection Jury. You will have 20 minutes to present the following, followed by 10 min reserved for jury Q&A:

• 1 video pitch – 3 minutes
• 1 company presentation – no more than 10 pages:

You should cover:

• Target customers & needs
• Solution & benefits
• Business model
• Strategy and development plan
• Ask – what do you need from Ramsay Santé?

The specific date and time for the jury selection pitch will be communicated in due course.

The jury members will vote on each company pitch and based on these results, companies will be selected to join the accelerator program.

The results of the jury selection will be communicated soon after the pitching event.

We expect to select two companies to join each cohort.

3. Planning Process

During the planning process, each start-up will go through:

• a deep dive to gain a detailed understanding of what is needed for the solution or service to be used within Ramsay Santé
• what is needed during the test & launch phase
• identify one or more suitable Living Lab(s)
  • secure a local project team
  • secure domain expertise
  • complete and sign the suite of necessary agreements
• internal approval processes

A detailed project plan will be created with pre-determined test evaluation criteria.

4. Test & Launch Phase

During the test phase we will:

• test and evaluate the services and solutions, based on the above-mentioned project plan and evaluation criteria
  • Test / POC / MVP
  • Evaluate and validate
  • Adjust and review

Once the solution and services fulfill the requirements we will proceed to launch it within the Living Lab and/or another units. Start preparations to potentially scale it internally within Ramsay Santé.
