Funding innovation in medical devices

Tame-Care, your strategic partner for technological… and economic success

Innovation in healthcare relies not only on a solid technical foundation, but also on a rigorous financing strategy. Designing a medical device goes far beyond creating a functional prototype — it requires planning for certification, clinical trials, traceability, safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and more. Each of these regulatory requirements generates costs from the very earliest stages of development.

For a start-up, an SME, or even a hospital, these initial investments can hinder the realization of projects with high potential. That’s where a partner like Tame-Care truly makes a difference.

 

What sets us apart

Support in building your financing plan

At Tame-Care, we firmly believe that a strong project must be structured from the very beginning. This means having a clear technical vision, but also a credible, well-supported financing plan.

That’s why we work closely with medical device manufacturers from the earliest stages of discussion, helping them frame their projects with an investment-oriented perspective.

We assist in transforming a concept or clinical need into a structured, costed, and milestone-driven project that aligns with the expectations of both public and private funders.

This includes support in defining your project scope, establishing clear deliverables at each stage, and formalizing a realistic budget — not only for design and development, but also for large-scale production.

In-depth knowledge of financing schemes

Tame-Care regularly contributes to projects supported by Bpifrance, regional authorities, SATTs, and European programs.

Our teams have been involved in preparing applications for funding schemes such as i-Démo, Horizon Europe, the EIC, and various calls for projects under the France 2030 plan.

We tailor our support to the specific requirements of each funding source — whether it’s deep technical content for a grant application, industrial scalability for a Series A funding round, or clinical relevance for a hospital–startup partnership.

Our strong understanding of the medical innovation ecosystem allows us to collaborate effectively with key stakeholders, including incubators, specialized consulting firms, competitiveness clusters, and regulatory authorities.

Strengthening your credibility with funders

What funders are looking for is not just an innovative idea — they expect guarantees.

Having Tame-Care by your side is often seen as a mark of reliability, demonstrating that you have partnered with an experienced industry player capable of successfully managing the technical aspects of the project and supporting you throughout the device’s lifecycle.

We help strengthen the quality of your applications by producing precise, coherent documentation aligned with expected milestones: feasibility studies, validated prototypes, verification plans, and compliance with medical standards (ISO 13485, IEC 60601, etc.). This technical rigor not only facilitates securing funding but also safeguards the subsequent phases of the project.

Support tailored to your needs

Our involvement in your financing strategy is flexible and evolves with your needs. It can range from simple technical framing to full support in project development, including drafting technical sections of proposals or actively participating in consortiums.

In all cases, our goal remains the same: to help you successfully navigate each stage with a solid foundation, both technologically and organizationally.

We work alongside early-stage MedTech start-ups, industrial SMEs diversifying their activities, and hospital organizations aiming to valorize innovations emerging from the field.

Each time, we tailor our approach to the project’s maturity level, the team’s profile, and the specific requirements of the targeted funding.

A real impact on outcomes

Several projects supported by Tame-Care have secured decisive public or private funding. In some cases, our technical expertise helped strengthen applications that had initially been rejected. In others, we were directly approached by funders or innovation clusters to reinforce the technical aspects of promising projects.

Our added value doesn’t stop at the funding stage: by supporting you through development, regulatory verification, industrialization, and production, we ensure valuable continuity—often highly appreciated by investors and partners.

Let’s talk about your project

Are you preparing a fundraising round, an application for Bpifrance, or a collaborative project call? Do you need support to structure a credible and industrializable technical plan? Or simply an external perspective to assess the technical robustness of your proposal?
