The health sector faces ongoing challenges in providing accessible, affordable, and high-quality care to populations worldwide. xFoundry targets this domain because advancements in healthcare can dramatically improve quality of life and contribute to global development.

Objective

To foster innovations that can enhance healthcare delivery, improve disease prevention, or make medical treatments more effective and accessible.

Why health?

By focusing on health-related challenges in its competitions, xFoundry aims to catalyze ventures that could revolutionize patient care, leverage technology for better health outcomes, or address global health inequities. This could include telemedicine platforms, AI-driven diagnostic tools, or innovative solutions for neglected tropical diseases. The objective is to launch ventures that can make a tangible impact on global health outcomes.

"The awareness of climate change means we, in every profession we are involved, are increasingly obligated to understand the climate risk and put whatever we are working on as part of the solution." - Kotchakorn Voraakhom, Urban landscape architect
