1 Round 8 Guidelines Overview & Objective LaunchVic s eighth funding grant round focuses on leveraging Victoria s key strengths in the health startup sector - including in MedTech, BioTech, Pharma, Health & Ageing Services and Disability services (together, the Health Startup Sector ). Through this round, LaunchVic will fund organisations to deliver accelerator and education programs that will further drive Victoria s strengths and help position the State as a leading health startup hub in the Asia-Pacific region.

The State s medical technology and pharmaceuticals industry employs around 23,000 people and generates over $12.5 billion in revenue, and is also home to the National Disability Scheme and major insurers including Medibank Private and others.
