Australia’s digital and connected health sector will have access to even greater commercialisation support with pharmaceutical and medtech commercialisation company Commercial Eyes, part of ProductLife Group (PLG), signing a deal to become a core partner of ANDHealth.

The strategic partnership brings together ANDHealth's proven expertise in scaling digital health businesses with Commercial Eyes' deep knowledge of regulatory frameworks and market access strategies, creating a powerful alliance to support Australia's growing digital health ecosystem.

Bronwyn Le Grice, ANDHealth Chief Executive Officer, said that the partnership would deliver real benefits for digital and connected health companies at a time when the sector is growing rapidly, and companies are looking to commercialise innovative solutions.

“We are delighted to welcome Commercial Eyes as our newest Core Partner,” Ms Le Grice said.

“We have a strong pipeline of more than 1,000 digital and connected health companies that work with us, all at various stages of maturity. The experience Commercial Eyes has in market access pathways, compliance, patient programs, regulatory frameworks and risk management will be invaluable to those companies and strengthen our offer across the entire commercialisation pathway, from ‘idea to exit’.

“Their connections into the EU in particular through their Paris based parent company ProductLife Group will also support those Australian companies looking to expand internationally.

“Together, we will strengthen the commercialisation pipeline for Australian digital and connected health SMEs, creating jobs, attracting investment, and improving patient outcomes,” Ms Le Grice said.

“We have been involved with ANDHealth in various ways over many years, including providing masterclasses to different cohorts on the areas of market research, access and intelligence, as well as working directly with cohort companies to solve some of their major challenges” said Commercial Eyes’ Country Managing Director, Tanya van der Wall.

“As part of ProductLife Group, we advise and connect Australian companies with a network of experts to support their global growth ambitions in Europe, the US, JAPAC and beyond which provides opportunities for Australian innovators to scale globally while retaining their base of operations in Australia.”

“We are inspired by the creativity, sophistication and overall professionalism of the cohort companies, backed by an exemplary ANDHealth team. As a Core Partner, we look forward to supporting them and the wider ANDHealth network of 1000+ innovators and emerging technologies,” said Mrs van der Wall.
