GE Healthcare, a leading provider of medical imaging, monitoring and cell therapy technologies has signed a strategic agreement with Hiventures, the venture capital fund manager of the Hungarian Development Bank (MFB), in order to support innovation in the healthcare industry.
“This is a unique opportunity for startups to cooperate with GE in order to promote European innovation, as we believe in the sharing of knowledge,” said Endre Ascsillán, vice president of GE Hungary.
The project will not only improve hi-tech solutions in the health sector, but will also represent an opportunity for start-ups to acquire business knowledge and global recognition.
