HealthTech Arkansas

Our director, Jeff Stinson, joined a dynamic panel today at the NWA Tech Summit titled “NWA’s Healthtech Launchpad: Accelerators and Resources You Need.” Alongside Tom Douglass from Fuel Accelerator and Jennifer Thomas from Plug and Play Tech Center, and moderated by Omid Moghadam, CEO of Namida Lab, Inc., the panel dove into the thriving healthtech ecosystem emerging in Northwest Arkansas. Jeff highlighted our great work at HealthTech Arkansas to drive innovation and support promising startups in the healthtech space. Each panelist shared their unique experiences in driving accelerator programs across the state, addressing the successes they’ve seen and the opportunities ahead. The collaborative spirit of the panel is a clear example of how ESO and accelerator programs across the state are working together — and it’s clear NWA is on the rise as a healthtech hub. Exciting times are ahead as we work together to support and scale healthtech solutions in Arkansas and beyond! #HealthTechArkansas #NWA #HealthInnovation #ArkansasAccelerators #HealthTechEcosystem #NWATechSummit2024
