We are proud to announce that LIITA Care has been selected as one of six promising startups to participate in the Dual Use Growth Accelerator Program, a groundbreaking initiative that bridges the gap between innovation and defense. This program provides a unique opportunity for startups like ours to explore and expand the impact of our technologies in both commercial and military applications.
About the Dual Use Growth Accelerator Program
This program, the first of its kind in Denmark, is a collaborative effort by the National Defence Technology Centre, the venture house PSV, and Forsvarsministeriets Materiel- og Indkøbsstyrelse (Danish Ministry of Defence's Material and Procurement Agency). It aims to foster innovation within the defense sector by connecting innovative startups with military stakeholders. Through this initiative, participants can refine their technologies for dual-use applications—solutions that serve both civilian and defense purposes.
LIITA Care’s Role: Breathing Life into Dual-Use Innovation
At LIITA Care, we specialize in medical devices designed to improve respiratory health. Our device delivers hyper-osmotic dry NaCl particles to both the upper and lower airways, offering effective relief and treatment for respiratory conditions.
While our primary focus has been on civilian healthcare, the Dual Use Growth Accelerator provides us with an incredible opportunity to explore how our technology can support defense personnel in challenging environments. For instance:
Military Applications: Soldiers and personnel often face respiratory challenges in extreme conditions, such as exposure to dust, smoke, or harsh climates. Our device could enhance respiratory resilience and recovery in these scenarios.
Disaster Relief: In humanitarian missions or emergency response situations, maintaining respiratory health is critical. Our technology could play a vital role in ensuring the well-being of both responders and affected populations.
Collaborating for Impact
By joining this accelerator, LIITA Care is taking steps to adapt and scale our technology to meet the diverse needs of the defense sector while continuing to serve the civilian market. This dual approach not only aligns with our mission to enhance health and safety but also strengthens our position as a versatile innovator capable of addressing critical challenges across sectors.
We are excited to collaborate with the program’s partners, mentors, and fellow participants, who bring a wealth of expertise and groundbreaking innovations. The cohort includes startups working on advanced maritime surveillance, foam bandages for wound care, autonomous maritime technologies, digital air traffic control for drones, and handheld spectrometers. Together, we represent the cutting edge of Denmark's innovation ecosystem.
Shaping the Future of Dual-Use Technologies
As the world faces increasingly complex challenges, the ability to develop innovations that serve multiple purposes is more critical than ever. At LIITA Care, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what our technology can achieve. Through the Dual Use Growth Accelerator, we aim to make a lasting impact on both civilian and defense health, contributing to national security and global well-being.
