About This Opportunity

The Horizon HealthTech 2026 programme is a 9‑month incubation cohort hosted by the IIIT‑Delhi Incubation Centre under the BIRAC EDGE umbrella. It brings together early‑stage MedTech founders with mentors, clinical partners and investors in a structured pathway that moves a validated idea / proof of concept (TRL 3+) to a prototype and testing stage. Eligible teams work on devices, diagnostics, surgical or interventional technologies, or remote monitoring solutions and must own or be able to generate IP. Participants receive equity‑free grant funding, intensive mentorship, access to IIIT‑D’s labs and clinical networks, and opportunities to pitch to investors. The program runs for nine months, featuring monthly workshops, hands‑on lab sessions, regulatory guidance, and a final demo day where teams showcase their prototypes to potential partners. Selected cohorts gain access to IIIT‑Delhi’s state‑of‑the‑art fabrication facilities, clinical validation support, and networking with over 100 industry experts. By the end of the term, startups are equipped with a functional prototype, validated data, and a clear roadmap for scaling.
