Venture capital firms are investing heavily in the healthcare sector. Life sciences (biotechnology and medical device industries) and healthcare services are a trendy investment nowadays… and we have been anticipating the trend for quite a while now, I’m so happy to say so!
Last year was by far the biggest year in health-care venture history, according to the MoneyTree Report. The medical devices and health-care services and information technology sectors have generated an intense deal flow in the past six months here, at the Barcelona Medical Association. From one idea per week last year, we’ve moved to more than one idea per day.
An aging population that refuses to give up its active lifestyle, coupled with evolving medical technologies, are fueling those health-care deals.
Here in Europe, at last, we are seeing new capital being raised by dedicated health-care funds, or even diversified funds with a strong health-care focus. About time!
