Acceleration
Full speed ahead, the Acceleration Program is the final program of unlock_. In this phase we find out what companies need, to help them grow as fast as they possibly can. This means it’s a highly personal approach that is focussed on the needs of the individual companies. This could mean that we help you find highly skilled personel, approach VC’s or connect you to new potential partners. If you are a fast growing LSH company in Leiden, you can apply for this program.
Even though unlock_ focusses on the needs of individual companies, we always strive to combine activities for more companies. Not just because this is more efficient, but also because we believe that companies also learn a lot each others experiences.
Market Access & Reimbursement program:
Are you planning to raise your next investment round and/or are you creating your market access strategy, but you need to find out how reimbursement works in your target market? Apply now for the unlock_ Market Access & Reimbursement program from January-March or September-December 2023.
With the unlock_ Market Access & Reimbursement (MA&R) program we will support you in increasing your investor readiness level by:
- Helping you understand the main elements of a MA&R strategy;
- Help you understand and answer the critical questions that form the basis of your MA&R strategy, irrespective of the market that you are aiming for;
- Understand how investors will evaluate your technology in terms of opportunities and obstacles to market adoption and market sizing.
Across three training days, you will work on building the skills and answering the most critical questions for your MA&R strategy. During the individual research track, you can choose a market of your choice. Together with experts from Hull Associates, you will map out how your technology fits in the local market and reimbursement system, and what your strategy needs to be in order to enter that market.
