The Startup Harbour Health Tech Think Tank initiative is assembling a coalition of hospitals, universities, pharma companies, biotech firms, and technology innovators with a single shared mission: to build a health tech unicorn in Poland and support 100 health tech founders along the way.
Pomerania has world-class medical research institutions, a deep pool of biotech and software engineering talent, and a healthcare system actively looking for innovation. What it lacks is a structured, well-capitalized ecosystem that can turn this potential into globally competitive health tech companies.
That is exactly what we are building.
The Think Tank is not a networking group. It is a working coalition where every member contributes resources, expertise, and access in exchange for first-mover advantage. Together, we are building a pre-accelerator and incubator for the next generation of health tech innovation.
Every member contributes unique expertise, resources, and market access. Together, they create the foundation for a thriving HealthTech ecosystem.

Commercialization pathways for research that would otherwise stay in a lab.
Industry knowledge, regulatory expertise, and distribution networks.
Early-stage investment and partnership opportunities in vetted health tech startups.
A clear plan to transform today's coalition into tomorrow's leading HealthTech accelerator and incubator.

Scale the best companies, attract institutional capital.
2028 and beyond
The Think Tank is the first step toward building a world-class HealthTech ecosystem in Poland. Together with our founding partners, we are defining the governance model, assembling the coalition, and selecting the first cohort of startups to support.
Organizations joining at this stage will help shape the initiative and gain early access to the collaborations, companies, and innovations that emerge from it. As the coalition grows, it will evolve into a dedicated HealthTech incubator and accelerator embedded within Poland's clinical, academic, and commercial ecosystem.
