What mediq Innovation Experts does

mediq Innovation Experts GmbH is a private German consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Eschborn (near Frankfurt). The company provides expert advisory and execution services to health-tech founders and MedTech companies seeking to enter and scale in the German and European healthcare markets. Its service portfolio comprises six interconnected modules: the mediq Market Readiness Kit (market assessment), Clinical Validation Services, Reimbursement Services, Market Entry Services, Scaling & Go-to-Market Services, and the mediq Connect / CHIP network platform. Delivery is senior-expert-led rather than productized, with nurse educators and clinical application specialists executing on the ground alongside strategists, KOLs, health economists, and regulatory/market access specialists.

The company operates a consultative, relationship-driven go-to-market motion initiated through a website contact form, with no self-serve or product-led distribution. Pricing is project-based or retainer-structured and not publicly disclosed; engagement scope is determined through direct expert-led scoping. The firm does not sell or build a software product; its core asset is human expertise and a curated network of hospitals, payers, KOLs, academic centers, and ecosystem partners across Europe.

Through its CHIP (Connected Health Innovation Powerhouses in Europe) initiative, mediq has built a pan-European network linking German health and life science clusters with ecosystems in Sweden, Denmark, and additional German innovation hubs. Named partners include StartUp Factory GOe Future, LifeScience Factory by Sartorius, hannoverimpuls, SweCare Foundation, Vinnova, Sahlgrenska Science Park, Hightech Campus XXL, and Copenhagen HealthTech Hub. The company is independently operated with no disclosed parent company, venture backing, or institutional investment.
