Their key areas of interest include rapid diagnostics, genomics in population health, digital health, telemedicine, synthetic biology, biomanufacturing, AgTech, 3D printing, and global healthcare supply chain innovations. Force Middle East Bioventures targets companies with vetted commercialization plans, a balanced team of founders with a massive vision, and lean budgets. For these companies, they offer to become a part of their growth story and potentially facilitate their expansion into relevant markets. However, as part of their current focus, the fund is not interested in companies that are developing therapeutics and medical device solutions that require significant regulatory requirements for launch. This stance is reflective of their aim to partner with companies that have the ability to launch products with limited regulatory barriers. The content from their website indicates that they also offer Tech+Bio Consulting Services and have positioned themselves in the market as a global life science consulting entity.
