Med&X Accelerator participants and their mentors together at an international medical center

Sponsor the Med&X Accelerator

Fund the bridge between Croatian and global biomedicine

The Accelerator places Croatian medical students, young scientists, and young physicians inside the labs and clinics of world-leading institutions. They return with frontier skills and lasting ties. Croatia gains a generation fluent in how the best institutions work. Host teams gain motivated researchers and a durable link to Croatia. Sponsors fund the bridge, and put their name on it.

Why sponsor

A gift that travels home, and keeps building

Each internship is a two-way connection. Your support sends a talented young person abroad, and brings their skills, methods, and collaborations back to Croatian hospitals, universities, and labs.

For a sponsor, this is unusually direct philanthropy. You can see exactly who you funded, where they went, and what they brought home. Recognition is specific too: a fellowship can carry your name inside a world-leading host lab or clinic, and your support is visible across Med&X and at the Plexus Gala.

  • Direct, visible impact

    You fund named people, not an abstract program. A short report comes back from the fellow you sent.

  • Recognition that means something

    Your name sits beside leading institutions and a respected biomedical community in Croatia and abroad.

  • A bridge that lasts

    Internships grow into co-authored work, return invitations, and openings that link Croatia to the world for years.
