Health Entrepreneurship Incubation Program.

Emprender en Salud is an incubation program led by Mayma, with the support of the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, aimed at strengthening business ideas and models related to physical and mental health. Through training, mentorship, and connection spaces, this initiative supported entrepreneurs with innovative projects designed to improve quality of life—encouraging the application of scientific, technological, and social knowledge in practical health care solutions.

 

In the 2023–2024 edition, 120 projects applied, and 30 were selected to receive six months of training and more than 30 hours of capacity building. This edition was supported by the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, which awarded 30 scholarships to foster the development of participating ventures.

 

Six ventures advanced to the final stage, with three standing out for their impact potential: Biotalife Skin: A biotech startup focused on dermatological health - Eureka Nanobioengineering: Developing personalized solutions for infectious diseases - Dharma Bioscience: Committed to the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis

These were the top three ventures of the 2023–2024 Emprender en Salud program.

 

The Emprender en Salud incubation program by Mayma was designed for early-stage health impact businesses that prioritize best practices and are grounded in solid knowledge. The six selected ventures participated in an intensive in-person program focused on training and networking, where they gained key tools in business modeling, commercial strategy, and economic analysis.

 

The awards ceremony took place on March 5 during the Demo Day held at Loci Labs Coworking, attended by the finalist entrepreneurs, executives from Mayma and Johnson & Johnson, and health sector investors. The jury was composed of Mayari Bercoff, Pablo Denari, Alejandrina Vendrell, Juan Soria, Claudio Cocconi, Juan Sicardi, and Rose Vervenne.
