A Strategic Gateway to U.S. Capital for Romanian Health Tech and Biotech Innovators
Afaceri.ro, your local Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) contact point in Iași, invites high-growth Romanian SMEs in Health Tech, Biotech, MedTech, and Digital Health to unlock U.S. venture capital and market access.
The ENRICHers Capital & Market Access Post-BIO Extension Program is not an academic course or a standard virtual webinar series. It is a highly practical, hybrid business acceleration and market-entry program designed to help European innovators transform international networking conversations into concrete American investments and corporate contracts.
The program combines active remote strategic preparation with mandatory on-the-ground, physical presence in California for pitch events, investor meetings, and corporate site visits.
Program Highlights: The Transatlantic Pipeline
This acceleration ecosystem runs through October 31, 2026, with an optional extension to the prestigious J.P. Morgan Week in January 2027:
- Corporate Matchmaking: Secure strategic scouting introductions with large pharma, biotech/medtech innovation arms, CROs, CDMOs, and major U.S. healthcare systems.
- Silicon Valley Acceleration Weeks (Physical Presence): Benefit from intensive on-site market immersion in the San Francisco Bay Area from June 29 to July 2, 2026, and during the BIO Investor Forum from October 15 to 17, 2026. Mornings are dedicated to individual, face-to-face investor follow-up meetings, while afternoons focus on executive group sessions and high-impact corporate visits.
- Health Tech Funding Summits: Physically pitch your solution directly to over 30 curated health tech investors in San Francisco on July 1 and October 15, 2026 (offered in a hybrid format).
- Remote Preparation & Pitch Coaching: Between physical trips, founders participate in bi-weekly touchpoints, one-on-one capital advisory calls, monthly Virtual Capital Advisory Boards, and investment-readiness workshops to optimize their investor pitch.
- Unprecedented Investor Reach: Gain direct access to Pitchtree.ai, connecting your business with a database of 100,000 accredited angels, VCs, and corporate venture funds.
Subsidies & Financial Support
To help local entrepreneurs minimize internationalization costs, the program offers significant financial backing:
- 50% EIC Discount: EIC beneficiaries and Seal of Excellence holders receive an immediate 50% program refund.
- €5,000 Vendor Support: Receive cash-back reimbursement for approved vendor bills, including regulatory assessments, partnering platforms, investment banking, and PR.
- Silicon Valley Presence: Secure a physical address and desk space in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is fully refunded.
