AXA is partnering with eHealth Hub and its Solution Match service to source nutrition and smoking cessation solution partners
AXA is today the number one global insurance brand, a worldwide leader in insurance and asset management operating in more than 60 countries, with 165,000 employees and agents serving 107 million clients. AXA’s 2020 Ambition aims to empower people to live a better life and the group is actively engaged in a transformation from health payer to partner, through innovation, prevention and care. Aligned with this objective, AXA is looking to partner with European digital health SMEs to implement solutions in two key areas: nutrition and smoking cessation. AXA is open to different business models. AXA Strategic Ventures is also open to discussing investments with companies short-listed and invited to come and present their solutions at the Solution Match live event at AXA headquarters in Paris on June 28th (date to be confirmed).
We are very excited to announce that eHealthHub is launching two new calls for applications, looking for Nutrition and Smoking Cessation solutions.
Call for Nutrition Solution(s)
AXA’s objective is to support healthier eating habits for their customers and promote general well-being, (secondary) prevention of non-communicable diseases, as well as healthy ageing. AXA is specifically interested in a nutrition solution. However, the group is open to reviewing more comprehensive wellness solutions as long as they are modular and flexible, and as long as the nutrition module is a market leader and can be isolated from the rest of the modules if need be. Do you have a nutrition solution you’d like to submit to AXA? Read more HERE
