Our Programmes

Each programme is tailored to the needs of a specific group of innovators – students, researchers, or startup teams, but all share the same goal: supporting early-stage innovation that is grounded in real healthcare needs and shaped through structured guidance.

For students

NetHub UniStart

NetHub works with universities and higher education institutions to support students interested in health innovation.

Through structured programmes delivered in collaboration with academic partners, students work on real-world healthcare challenges and gain first-hand experience in shaping early health innovation concepts.

Macro-Regional Initiative

HealthTech Adria Awards

NetHub is coordinating a macro-regional health innovation initiative developed in partnership with 4 innovation hubs from Southeast Europe.

The programme connects national acceleration/venture building efforts into a shared macro-regional pathway, supporting healthtech teams through cross-border collaboration, joint visibility, and access to specialized investors.

For startups and research teams

NetHub Catalyst

NetHub Catalyst is an integrated acceleration programme for startups and research teams working in health innovation.

The programme supports teams in shaping early ideas and research outcomes into structured, validation-ready health technologies, while connecting them with relevant experts, partners, and investors across the health innovation ecosystem.
