Driving innovation for a longer, healthier life

The Mission 120 startup program, launched in collaboration with Impact Hub Vienna and UNIQA, aimed to drive innovation for a longer, healthier life. The program focused on engaging visionary startups and entrepreneurs to address key challenges in healthcare, elderly care, and companionship.

As trends like personalized medicine, precision medicine, and artificial intelligence began revolutionizing healthcare, the demand for innovative solutions grew rapidly. With increasing life expectancy, people are seeking cutting-edge approaches to enhance their well-being and quality of life.

UNIQA’s CEO, Andreas Brandstetter, emphasized the role of digitalization in driving this change: “Digitalization gave us the opportunity to innovate services and products, allowing us to better meet clients’ evolving needs.” He also highlighted the importance of ensuring a longer, healthier, and more secure life for aging populations.

Mission 120 was dedicated to fostering and supporting groundbreaking solutions from startups at various stages of development, whether in the prototype, proof-of-concept, or operational phases. UNIQA and Impact Hub Vienna worked together to nurture these innovations, shaping the future of healthcare and longevity.
