    In October 2021, MassRobotics, FESTO and other key players in the Healthcare Robotics space launched a Startup Catalyst Program to advance healthcare robotics companies around the world by providing the connections, guidance, resources they need to grow and succeed. The aim of the program is to connect healthcare robotics startups with customers, investors, suppliers, marketing and overall support. The program focused on startups in the areas of clinical care, public safety, laboratory and supply chain automation, out-of-hospital care, quality of life, as well as continuity of work and education, healthcare professionals training & support. Four start-up companies, selected from all over the world, participated in the program.

    In this keynote session, senior executives from Festo, MassRobotics and others will describe the Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst program, and celebrate the milestones achieved by the four companies. The start-ups, in turn, will describe their companies, along with their products and services offerings.
