Philips Foundation partners with mission-driven ventures that strengthen healthcare systems in underserved communities. These ventures develop practical, scalable solutions that improve access to healthcare, particularly in cardiovascular disease and maternal and child health.

As part of its continuum-of-capital approach, Philips Foundation deploys both grants and impact investments to help prove, refine, and scale effective models. Investments are executed through its subsidiary, Philips Foundation Impact Investments B.V., and are designed to support ventures at stages where catalytic capital can unlock sustainable growth.

In assessing ventures, Philips Foundation looks beyond technology or short-term financial projections. It evaluates whether a solution can integrate into existing health systems, address real gaps in community and primary care, and achieve durable impact at scale. This includes reviewing governance, operational readiness, local partnerships, and long-term financial sustainability.

Through patient, impact-driven capital and active partnership, Philips Foundation supports ventures that are positioned to move from pilot to proven, contributing to stronger and more resilient healthcare systems over time.
