This collaboration emphasizes a shared commitment to improving outcomes for children with cancer and provides a platform for startups to significantly impact this critical area. Two of the 15 available spots in the 2025 cohort will be reserved for companies developing innovative solutions in pediatric oncology, receiving support from CancerX and KidsX.
“This year’s cohort represents a new level of collaboration and innovation in cancer care,” said Xavier Avat, chief business officer and executive vice president at Moffitt Cancer Center and executive sponsor of CancerX. “The strong support from existing and new champions enables us to provide a more diverse range of resources to accelerate the development of solutions that will enhance patient outcomes.”
