MUNICH, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Startup Creasphere, the digital healthcare platform of Plug and Play, has announced its new partnership with Daiichi Sankyo. The partnership presents itself at the height of digital innovation in health, allowing for a unique opportunity for Daiichi Sankyo to join the Startup Creasphere ecosystem and the Plug and Play community in order to explore new ideas, mentor, learn, and innovate together.
"We are happy to welcome Daiichi Sankyo to our global Healthcare Ecosystem. We are proud to be the chosen partner to support and guide their innovation journey and build the future of healthcare for tomorrow between startups and Daiichi. The open innovation approach is key to innovate and Daiichi has understood this very well," said Frederike Rohr, Director of Health and Head of Munich.
Established in 2018 by Roche and Plug and Play in Munich, Startup Creasphere is one of the largest hubs for digital health innovation worldwide. With additional health-specific locations in Munich, Singapore, Cleveland, and Silicon Valley, Plug and Play has a unique pilot-driven approach with a focus on co-creation between startups, corporates, and further players in the healthcare ecosystem.
Keeping up with digital transformation in healthcare can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to deciding which emerging technologies are worth investing in and implementing change are often the hardest parts. Currently, most of the industry changes in the digital health space are shaped by external players. In order to succeed in the mid and long-term, it is critical for Daiichi Sankyo to identify, understand, and collaborate with startups and other relevant digital players in healthcare. Daiichi Sankyo is working to establish a framework to define, source, test, pilot, learn, and scale different opportunities. Through this mission, Startup Creasphere will identify relevant stakeholders to establish the best "Need Solution Fit" for Daiichi Sankyo.
Startup Creasphere has designed the program to help Daiichi Sankyo select and partner with innovative healthtech companies that hold immense potential to transform the current global healthcare ecosystem. The partnership with Startup Creasphere also provides Daiichi Sankyo the opportunity to not only collaborate but to learn and share experiences with others who are also driven to disrupt and accelerate advances in healthcare. Startup Creasphere and Daiichi Sankyo can generate impact for both startups and for society as a whole. In health, this means empowering startups to provide better experiences, insights, and care through their products and services. Plug and Play's extensive experience in corporate-startup collaboration is the perfect setup for Daiichi Sankyo's innovation strategy.
"Innovation for me means opening up to the world, trying to understand our customers better, serving their pain points. Platforms like Startup Creasphere really allow us to interact with the ecosystem and understand problems from different perspectives," commented Anna-Maria Heidinger, Head of Digital Innovation Hub, Daiichi Sankyo Europe.
