Project Size 250,000 € · Deadline : 2020-10-22
While the implications of the pandemic are still unfolding, countries across the world are preparing for life in the “New Normal.” In this period of transition, forward-thinking innovations aiming to address healthcare challenges are needed more than ever. Through disruption, we must leverage data and health technologies to accelerate potentially life-saving ideas aiming to improve patient care through the uncharted times that lay ahead. That is why Johnson & Johnson Innovation—JLABS (“JLABS”), in collaboration with Seoul Metropolitan Government (“SMG”), Korea Health Industry Development Institute (“KHIDI”), Janssen Korea Ltd., is launching the Seoul Innovation QuickFire Challenge for Healthcare in the New Normal. Up to two innovators with the best ideas aiming to address and enable potential healthcare solutions in the post-COVID era will receive up to KRW150,000,000 (approximately US$125,000[1]) in grant funding, residency at the Seoul Bio Hub, and mentorship and coaching from experts at the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies. [1] From the KRW150 million grant, each awardee will receive a KRW75 million grant including one-year mandatory residency, which must be used toward the rent and utilities at the Seoul Bio Hub for a year.
