AMPli­fy – Accel­er­at­ed US Mar­ket Entry for Finnish Health­care Com­pa­nies

AMPli­fy is a curat­ed, high-impact col­lab­o­ra­tion plat­form designed to sup­port Finnish health­care, health tech, and diag­nos­tic com­pa­nies in accel­er­at­ing and build­ing their readi­ness for the U.S. health­care mar­ket, the world’s largest and most com­plex ecosys­tem. Expand­ing upon the suc­cess­ful Nordic AMPli­fy and Gazelle pro­grams, AMPli­fy is a com­plete ecosys­tem that brings togeth­er Finnish com­pa­nies and one of the world’s lead­ing health sys­tems, Mayo Clin­ic. AMPli­fy offers a struc­tured path­way of expert-led work­shops, men­tor­ship, investor insights, and prac­ti­cal guid­ance to fast-track suc­cess­ful U.S. mar­ket entry.

The US mar­ket rep­re­sents 40% of the glob­al health­care mar­ket, and more than 30% of new tech­nolo­gies are joint ven­tures with non-US enti­ties. Amer­i­can health sys­tems are trans­form­ing their inno­va­tion cen­ters into inter­na­tion­al co-devel­op­ment ven­tures. Through AMPli­fy, Mayo Clin­ic has iden­ti­fied Fin­land as a strate­gic focus area.

Mayo Clin­ic con­tin­u­ous­ly seeks to improve qual­i­ty of care, oper­a­tional effi­cien­cies, and patient out­comes across the full con­tin­u­um of care and care man­age­ment. Achiev­ing this requires con­stant inno­va­tion, par­tic­u­lar­ly in areas that improve clin­i­cal oper­a­tions, reduce sys­tem-wide costs, and enable scal­able care deliv­ery. Work­ing with exter­nal com­pa­nies through struc­tured plat­forms is a proven path­way, and the demand for advanced dig­i­tal, auto­mat­ed, and data-dri­ven solu­tions is both real and urgent.

AMPli­fy pro­vides Finnish com­pa­nies with a strate­gic and com­pet­i­tive advan­tage by com­bin­ing U.S. health­care exper­tise with direct access to local cham­pi­ons, key opin­ion lead­ers, deci­sion-mak­ers, and col­lab­o­ra­tion path­ways.

The plat­form fea­tures a care­ful­ly designed cur­ricu­lum of work­shops, one-on-one men­tor­ing, and webi­na­rs with lead­ing U.S. health­care providers, investors, strate­gic part­ners, and Mayo Clin­ic experts. Par­tic­i­pat­ing com­pa­nies gain the tools, feed­back, and con­nec­tions need­ed to refine their val­ue propo­si­tion, under­stand reg­u­la­to­ry and reim­burse­ment dynam­ics, engage U.S. stake­hold­ers, and devel­op scal­able col­lab­o­ra­tion and com­mer­cial­iza­tion path­ways.

Who should apply
AMPli­fy is designed for Finnish com­pa­nies that are seri­ous about engag­ing with the U.S. health­care ecosys­tem through a struc­tured col­lab­o­ra­tion plat­form. The pro­gram is suit­able for ear­ly-stage to growth-stage com­pa­nies devel­op­ing solu­tions in dig­i­tal health, med­ical tech­nolo­gies, diag­nos­tics, or bio­phar­ma that address mean­ing­ful chal­lenges in clin­i­cal oper­a­tions, care deliv­ery, and health­care infra­struc­ture.

Espe­cial­ly com­pa­nies focused on:

• Robot­ics and automa­tion, e.g., SPD-relat­ed solu­tions
• Automa­tion of large-scale phar­ma­cy oper­a­tions, includ­ing com­pound­ing, dis­pens­ing, and med­ica­tion work­flow opti­miza­tion
• Bio­phar­ma and diag­nos­tics, with a strong pref­er­ence for deep, nov­el tech­nolo­gies, such as advanced bio­phar­ma plat­forms and next-gen­er­a­tion diag­nos­tic solu­tions
• Oper­a­tional effi­cien­cies
• Qual­i­ty improve­ments to the stan­dards of care, and more
