Bendigo Health Accelerator
The Bendigo Health Accelerator (BHx) is the first regional health accelerator in Victoria. BHx works in collaboration with the Melbourne Health Accelerator (MHx) under the Victorian Health Network Accelerator (VHNx).
The program provides a platform to explore and validate healthcare related business opportunities by supporting a selected group of companies to work within an in-situ hospital co-working space, attend customised educational workshops, and access world-class clinicians.
As a part of the program Bendigo Health introduces participants in the BHx to the entrepreneurial and clinical ecosystems, increasing their network exponentially and increased their chance of success.
