Let’s hear it from our startups

“Being part of the Health Incubator Helsinki ecosystem has given us visibility, and access to a broader health innovation community.”

Noora Hujala, CEO, Solid IO, Batch 6 (2025) company

“In 2011, launching a HealthTech startup in Finland meant navigating critical hurdles largely alone. Today, the Finnish health incubator continuum has transformed that reality. Health Incubator Helsinki is a key force in converting ecosystem knowledge and networks into higher odds of success. With that support, we can focus on building the right product, validating the market, and scaling with confidence.”

Wycliffe Raduma, Co-founder & CEO, Otos

Batch 5 (2024) company

“At Health Incubator Helsinki, there’s a clear understanding that when it comes to health, failing fast isn’t always the best possible mindset. Health startups often need to move at a slightly more careful pace. The HIH team helps us recognize which parts of our product require careful fine-tuning and where we can safely speed up.”

Polaris Koi, Co-founder, Ronroo, Batch 6 (2025) company

”You get the peer support that you need, in addition to quality mentoring.”

Päivi Saavalainen, CEO and Founder, SCellex
Batch 1 (2020) company

“Health Incubator Helsinki introduced us to highly relevant investors who we would not have otherwise known about – sparring with them was instrumental in securing our pre-seed funding round.”

Karolina Punovuori, Co-founder and CSO, MultivisionDx, Batch 6 (2025) company

”Exchange of information with other companies, business premises, a central location within the HUS Helsinki University Hospital area and access to the right people are the incubator’s main benefits.”
