First stepping stone to the USA

ExAC visited the United States from March 24th to 28th, supported by Innovation Norway and DNB//BackBay. Seven health companies engaged with the large ecosystem of partners and stakeholders in New York, gaining insights into the American health market with pitches, seminars, networking, and partner visits.

This initial contact with the American health market sets the stage for collaboration with US health sector partners. Knowing that we will have the support from Innovation Norway and DNB and their network of stakeholders is particularly valuable as we take the coming steps over the next years.

To ExAC, the visit is particularly relevant as postpartum haemorrhage has increased in the US over recent decades. Having the possibility to hold a lecture and training external aortic compression with colleagues in Boston was therefore particularly valuable!

The major takeaway from the visit is that the US represents a complex market that requires networks, a clear strategy and not at least- a multitude of possibilities. We have entered the first stepping stone, creating awareness among clinicians combined with tapping into the eco-system of possible partners and stakeholders!
