Baxter Ventures

Baxter Ventures is the venture arm of Baxter International, created in 2011. It builds on the parent company's long history in healthcare and invests in companies whose technologies or therapies could advance patient care.

What Baxter Ventures offers

• Venture investment — funding for healthcare companies with growth potential.
• In-hospital solutions and therapeutics — one of its stated areas of interest.
• Monitoring and diagnostic tools — another area of interest.
• Medication delivery and management — a third area of interest.

Who it works with

It looks at treatment areas that fit alongside Baxter's existing work in critical care, hospital care, nutrition, kidney care and surgery, as well as technology beyond the current product range. Each opportunity is assessed for its ability to meet an unmet clinical need. Companies can send a short, non-confidential overview and contact details, and the team replies if there is enough alignment.
