Portabel Health: Crowned Winner of Flemingsberg Science STARTUP Award 2025

Quickly finding the right personnel is one of the healthcare sector’s major challenges, especially in times of staff shortages and increasing demands for efficiency. Portabel Health offers a modern solution to these problems through a digital platform that makes it easy for care providers to access qualified nurses and healthcare professionals.

Unlike traditional staffing agencies, Portabel Health enables flexible and cost-effective staffing, where the right competence can be matched with the right assignment on short notice. The platform manages the entire process—from matching and scheduling to communication, resulting in reduced administrative burden.

“Winning the Flemingsberg Science Award STARTUP 2025 is proof that we’re on the right path and that our work is being recognized. It gives us even more motivation to continue building a solution the healthcare system truly needs.” — Omar Ahmed, COO and Co-Founder

By combining technology with a deep understanding of healthcare needs, Portabel Health helps ensure high quality of care—even during sudden changes in staffing. The result is a more sustainable staffing solution that strengthens both the work environment and patient care.

“This win opens doors for us to grow faster and continue developing in an environment that fosters innovation. It’s a significant step in our journey and in our mission to create societal value.” — Abdullah Hariss Qurashi, CEO and Founder of Portabel Health

Portabel Health’s innovative work has not gone unnoticed. This year, they are the winners of the Flemingsberg Science STARTUP Award.
