Taking great Kiwi health solutions to the United States Innovation Challenge
New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) has launched a new initiative that aims to help the New Zealand health sector develop commercial solutions that improve health and health outcomes. It covers key areas of focus based on the New Zealand health industry core competencies and global health priorities.

NZTE's sector director Hans Frauenlob says that The Challenge is looking for new health solutions that can potentially be delivered to the growing United States health market.

"The US is a strategic market for New Zealand. It is a market that is investing heavily on health solutions, and offers significant opportunities for those that can deliver added value, practical products and services. The Challenge is an avenue for New Zealand health innovators to fast-track commercially into the US, benefiting from expert feedback about what markets are looking for in new health solutions. "

Health sector leaders and providers based both in New Zealand and the United States will provide feedback and help participants to develop solutions. NZTE is now calling for entries. For more information about The Challenge please visit www.nzfocusonhealth.com
