Marko Mimica je suosnivač NetHuba, prvog hrvatskog inovacijskog centra za zdravstvo. 12 godina gradi u poduzetništvu, zadnjih 4 godina sistematski radi na ekosustavu kojeg kod nas nije bilo.

Ovo je razgovor o onome što se događa između laboratorija i pacijenta. Tko premosti taj jaz, tko ga financira, tko ga pušta da padne.

Neke stvari koje sam čuo i koje dugo neću zaboraviti:

99% hrvatskih healthtech startupa nema prihode kad uđu u exit. Najčešća strategija nije skaliranje, već prodaja većem igraču.

Inovacija je novi proizvod ili usluga u stvarnoj primjeni. Bez primjene postoji samo izum.

Sektori koji su manje regulirani idu brže. U zdravstvu se mora dokazati sigurnost, učinkovitost i troškovna učinkovitost. To je tri p**a više domaće zadaće.

Nova epizoda je na youtube kanalu Human LAB Podcast
