Germany-based Qrago has attracted €2.7 million in seed funding to strengthen its position in healthcare logistics and patient transport. The investment will support the company’s expansion across the DACH region while enhancing its service offerings. The company aims to optimize logistics for hospitals and healthcare providers through digital solutions that streamline patient mobility and resource allocation. New partnerships with Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Debeka further reinforce its market presence, signaling an effort to integrate external mobility and insurance services into its platform.
Earlier investments in Qrago had already positioned the company as a key player in healthcare logistics. However, this latest funding round, led by āltitude and MobilityFund, provides additional momentum for further development. In prior reports, Qrago had focused primarily on patient transport, but the company is now expanding its services to include broader logistical tasks such as laboratory and material transport. These developments indicate a shift toward a more comprehensive approach to healthcare logistics management.
Who invested in Qrago’s expansion?
The funding was secured with the participation of venture capital firms āltitude and MobilityFund, alongside existing investors such as Segenia Capital and capacura. āltitude, a pan-European pre-seed and seed fund, focuses on digital innovation among SMEs. MobilityFund, a Hamburg-based venture capital firm, specializes in mobility-related investments.
“With its specialised logistics platform for the healthcare market, Qrago has already established itself in a strong position, but we still see enormous growth potential for the company in the future,”
stated Ingo Drexler, General Partner at āltitude.
What are Qrago’s next steps?
Qrago plans to use the funding to strengthen its presence in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland while broadening its portfolio of logistics solutions. The company currently facilitates over 50,000 transports per month and collaborates with more than 200 clinics and 1,700 transport providers. Its platform offers real-time tracking, dynamic route planning, and integration with hospital information systems (HIS).
“With this new financing, we will further develop our markets both horizontally and vertically – material and laboratory transports are just the beginning. We also see considerable potential in large-scale logistics for clinic networks. We plan to double our reach this year and enter the market in Austria and Switzerland,”
said Alexander Kunze, Managing Director at Qrago.
Along with securing investment, Qrago has also obtained C5 certification from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), confirming its compliance with high-level security standards for cloud-based services. Additionally, the company announced new collaborations with Uber for transport services and Debeka for health insurance, reinforcing its ecosystem of digital healthcare logistics.
As digital transformation continues to impact the healthcare sector, Qrago’s expansion reflects a growing emphasis on efficiency in patient transport and resource management. Ensuring secure and scalable logistics solutions is becoming increasingly important, particularly as hospitals seek to optimize operations. With its latest funding and strategic partnerships, Qrago is positioning itself to address these needs while competing with other digital healthcare logistics providers. The company’s ability to scale operations in the DACH region will be key to determining its long-term success in the industry.
