About us

The trinational initiative

At the heart of the Upper Rhine Valley, a dynamic cooperation between healthcare actors has progressively developed, bringing together startup support structures from Germany, France and Switzerland.

The annual
trinational gathering

BadenCampus, Quest for health, LSA Baden-Württemberg and the University of Basel share a common ambition: to connect health innovation ecosystems and foster cross-border collaboration.

Together, we aim to accelerate the international development of startupsbuild a strong trinational entrepreneurial community addressing key challenges in biotech, medtech and digital health, and increase funding and business opportunities by connecting promising startups with international investors and major corporates through our proprietary private cross-border digital platform.

The first concrete initiative was the creation of the Trinational HealthTech Days, an annual cross-border event connecting startups, investors, major corporations and key stakeholders across France, Germany and Switzerland.

Now in its 7th edition, the event has become a key meeting point for the European healthtech ecosystem, with Belgium and Canada joining this year as guest countries.

Meet our most
promising startups

To discover and engage with our most promising startups throughout the year, consortium partners organize portfolio reviews and international roadshows, as well as direct introductions between startups, investors and major corporates, supported by a proprietary, private trinational platform exclusively dedicated to investors and major corporates. The platform provides access to more than 100 French, Swiss, German and Belgian healthtech startups seeking funding or strategic partnerships.

More than 150 investors and corporates are already connected, giving them access to a curated pipeline of promising healthtech companies.
