A turnover of € 1 million with 8 employees

Nr 1 in the Dutch & Belgium market

Where we are going to

We saw a new market, attracting consumers/individuals to keep and stay healthy.

Health from the perspective of yourself.

Self management

For VitalinQ this means: “A Healthy business case in a Healthy Europe!”

Just a few words about what we see & have seen

Increase of lifestyle related diseases worldwide

Average lifespan increasing: live longer = more unhealthy years when we grow older

Easier to decrease intake of calories by food then increase output by more exercise, or not?

Meanwhile, more health awareness

Trends: Personal Health Record, Social Media & Quantified Self

Empowerment of the individual person to take control (Self management)

Change of healthcare; decrease of days in hospital; more eHealth

From EU-perspective: Genomics, health literacy and empowerment are hot issues

What we do and what we want to achieve

Create a platform with focus on the individual and where he is in

control of his or her own health issue

For parents to keep track of the activities of their children and informing what is

healthy for them

Inform the individuals while taking in account their own lifestyle situation, preferences

and choices

Nutrition, exercise, community, labour and awareness are the key-factors, embodied

by Information and Fun

WHO : “The ability to adapt and to self manage In the face of social,

physical and emotional challenge”

What we experienced and our pitfall’s

Discussions about functionality, more then 1 year of fine tuning

How does it have to look like, overkill in functionality

What market approach, Competition & Business model

About the USP’s as Science, some lessons in cooperation ;)

Being partner of EU-projects; why and how

Our team and the investor(s)

Partners (scientific and market)

Going International is energy consuming

Technical Issues (platforms/hardware/etc)

Lots of content and code, testing, faults, etc…

For the individual we want : “A Social Media for your health ”

Our EU history, when we started trying to shape our future

We were known with some R&D funding in The Netherlands

o Regional (IAG3) with EU-funding

oWBSO for innovation

o Some small local projects

All to increase innovation and decrease of direct costs

All our regional subsidy advisors forgot to tell us that the EU likes innovation

and spends billions of Euro’s in it. Untill we met Mr Jaap Koot,

project manager of http://www.Irohla.eu

Why Europe and Why Horizon 2020 is important

o For us it generates contacts all over the world (incl Asia, Australia)

o We work together and learn, culture, science, innovation

o & learn where to find local partners for knowledge and fieldlabs (future customers)

o It funds some of our innovation costs

o But most, it helps us to be seen as serious partners

Being partner in EU-projects opens doors, local and international!

Google, Philips, Samsung were talking to us; also because of EU-projects.
