MEDVIA is pleased to announced that we have entered into a partnership with Dunden, a curated tech hub and community in Antwerp that focuses on tech start-ups and scale-ups active in healthcare or with a social impact.

Margot Hermans, Dunden General Manager said of the partnership: “Dunden is excited to collaborate with MEDVIA to further develop our health hub in Antwerp. We firmly believe that MEDVIA will add significant value to our community, benefiting both start-ups and our other partners. Together, we are committed to driving innovation and growth in the health sector.”
