Tampa Bay Wave selects sixteen groundbreaking health startups to join 2025 accelerator program in Florida

The health tech innovation space just got a jolt of energy from Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay Wave, a nonprofit tech accelerator based in Florida, has just handpicked 16 promising startups from across the globe to take part in its 2025 HealthTech|X Accelerator — and the lineup is as impressive as it is diverse.

Backed by Big Names and Bold Vision

This year’s HealthTech|X program isn’t just any startup accelerator — it’s powered by serious support.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) is funding the initiative, and several key partners are also behind it, including The Florida High Tech Corridor, USF Research & Innovation, and the USF Health Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS).

Corporate sponsors like Foley & Lardner, Levo Health, Thoropass, and Insight Assurance are also playing a major role, helping ensure these companies get the expert guidance, resources, and networking they need to thrive.
