Tech is no longer the next big thing, but health tech could well see a surge of activity in 2020. This is an area in which Taylor Wessing partner Josef Fuss has excelled over 2019, beavering away at a series of transactions in the space.

He was the lead partner on Babylon Health’s $550m investment in what was the largest-ever fundraising in the European and US digital health sector, as well as CMR Surgical’s deal to boost investment opportunities for the medical device company.

There were further transactions for Anne’s Day, a femtech company that sought out Fuss’s services on a series A funding round.

While healthcare slowly and surely makes its mark in the tech space, other industries such as financial services and travel have already proved their worth through success stories like Monzo and Airbnb.

More will surely follow, with Fuss taking the reins for fintech Curve on its series B raising, as it became the fastest company to raise £6m on funding website Crowdcube.

For these start-ups, the next stage is internationalisation. Fuss is in prime position to send them on their merry way.
