Project Description
IFC will support IFC's strategy by introducing the best available technologies to IFC clients and prospective clients in the healthcare sector in Brazil through implementing the following four main components:
1) Increase awareness of young technology companies from around the world (including home grown solutions) of opportunities in Brazil healthcare, and screen technologies that meet the needs of Brazilian healthcare providers
2) Increase awareness of healthcare providers of new technologies, and prepare technology companies and providers for matchmaking event to increasing know-how of engaging/partnering
3) Convene a technology matchmaking event targeted to present and demonstrate technologies
4) Support the validation/adaption of new technologies through field test/demonstration projects
IFC is uniquely positioned to bridge the awareness and adoption challenges between technology users and Innovators. The TechEmerge Program can help young tech companies accelerate the deployment of their technologies in emerging markets by leveraging IFC’s unique global network, and in parallel, help IFC clients and prospective clients to increase their competitiveness by adopting cutting-edge technologies, which can support improved and/or more affordable services to underserved populations in emerging markets.
