About N17 Ventures
N17 Ventures was founded by Nermin Duratović with the ambition to advance innovation projects in the MedTech and HealthTech industries in a structured, economically sustainable, and responsible manner. In a highly regulated environment, sustainable solutions require solid industry knowledge, entrepreneurial thinking, and clear decision-making processes.
Based on years of operational and strategic experience in medical technology, we support companies and founders in developing and implementing sustainable innovation projects. The focus is on structure, feasibility, and measurable value.
Our approach is guided by win-win business cases, transparent collaboration, and solutions that last long-term.
