Public description

About the program

Walgreens engages health technology companies through commercial partnership, its clinical trials business and corporate investment rather than a recruited accelerator, and previously ran innovation programming with external accelerator partners. The company built and then substantially unwound the Walgreens Health segment, including its VillageMD primary care investment. Current structured startup intake is limited and program branding has shifted repeatedly.
