The 10xHealth Program Modules
The intensive, 12-month program is inspired by the Moonshot approach by Astro Teller and comprises nine modules, where each module consists of a full day of lectures and workshops at Medicon Village followed by individually tailored follow-ups with participating companies.
The modules are led by experts in the respective fields, with the support of SmiLe Incubator and Medicon Village Innovation’s own experienced employees and coaches.
The ‘Moonshot Approach’
“Moonshot thinking is a mindset that challenges individuals to believe in achieving what initially seems impossible. It’s not literal, but rather an emotional blueprint to look beyond the visible and pursue seemingly unreasonable answers that could redefine humanity.”
