Alzheimer’s Dementia and Longevity: H2 Global Group Offers Solutions, Opens an Investment Window, and Targets the Medicine of the Future

Alzheimer’s Dementia and Longevity: H2 Global Group Offers Solutions, Opens an Investment Window, and Targets the Medicine of the Future

Prague, 19 December 2025 (PROTEXT) – Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are rapidly becoming one of the greatest health, social, and economic challenges of today—and especially of the coming decades. Alzheimer’s dementia is often referred to as the “cancer of the mind.” In its early stages, it does not progress dramatically from day to day, but rather gradually strips a person of memory, identity, and self-sufficiency. The impact affects not only patients, but also their families, healthcare systems, and public budgets.

According to data from the World Health Organization, approximately 57 million people worldwide were living with dementia in 2021, with nearly 10 million new cases added each year. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for roughly 60–70% of all dementia cases. At the same time, the economic burden is rising sharply. Alzheimer’s Disease International reports that global dementia-related costs now exceed USD 1.3 trillion annually and could reach as much as USD 2.8 trillion per year by 2030. This is a problem that affects virtually every country—and therefore all of us.

This is precisely where the topic of dementia intersects with the phenomenon of longevity. The desire to live longer alone is not enough. True longevity means extending the healthy years of life, and above all preserving a young mind—memory, focus, and the ability to make independent decisions. At this point, preventive longevity practice naturally connects with one of the greatest medical challenges of our time.

This is where the Czech group H2 Global Group enters the scene, building a hydrogen-based platform that connects longevity with medicine. “We are not a pharmaceutical giant with an unlimited budget. We have a unique, patent-protected, and scalable approach that brings new possibilities into medicine, which has already attracted the attention of global players. We chose a financing path that also opened space for smaller investors to participate in the growth of the project’s value in the period before key clinical milestones,” says David Maršálek, Founder and CEO of H2 Global Group.

Longevity Boom: One of the Largest Market Potentials of Our Time

The longevity market is currently experiencing an unprecedented investment boom. Estimates suggest that the global longevity market could reach a value of USD 1.87 trillion by 2034. Investors are channeling capital into premium longevity and medical centers, biotechnology focused on aging processes, and concierge medicine, i.e., high-end private care. The common denominator of successful projects is a combination of clinical credibility, measurable and visible results, and a scalable business model. It is precisely within this framework that H2 Global Group is building its hydrogen business as a bridge between the rapidly growing longevity market and traditional medicine—extending all the way to the medicine of the future.

H2 Longevity as a New Standard: Prevention, Performance, and Healthy Aging

The concept of longevity today represents a shift in how individuals, clinics, and service providers approach health: instead of “putting out fires,” the emphasis is on long-term vitality, regeneration, resilience of the body, and overall quality of life. H2 Global Group has embraced this trend in a practical way, creating a scalable model for end customers and B2B partners, while connecting it with technologies and know-how in the field of molecular hydrogen and its safe practical application. The company’s clients already include a wide range of prominent partners—from athletes and sports clubs, spa facilities, and private clinics including dental practices, to wellness hotels and centers focused on biohacking, longevity, and overall regeneration of the body.

H2 Longevity® Lifestyle Ostrava: A New-Generation Center Not Only for Prevention

One of the most visible steps this year was the opening of H2 Longevity® Ostrava, publicly presented as a new-generation healthy longevity center and at the same time as a model space (“showroom”) for customers, distributors, professional partners, and investors.

The center combines modern longevity practices such as molecular hydrogen inhalation using H2 Medical Technologies devices, light therapy, hydrogen hydration in the form of H2 Premium® hydrogen water, specialized H2 dietary supplements such as H2 Brain® and H2 Forte®, and unique hydrogen-based cosmetics, including education focused on regeneration and healthy aging. The Ostrava center thus serves not only as a premium destination for end clients, but also as a reference point for future expansion through partners.

From Longevity to the Medicine of the Future Through an Approved Clinical Trial

A key step is the transition from prevention to data-driven medicine. Through its MedTech division, H2 Medical Technologies, H2 Global Group announced that the Czech State Institute for Drug Control (SÚKL) has approved the first clinical study in the Czech Republic to evaluate the safety of molecular hydrogen inhalation in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition often considered a precursor to Alzheimer’s dementia. The study will use the first functional prototype of a molecular hydrogen-generating device developed by H2 Medical Technologies.

The study will begin in January 2026, last six months, and include approximately 30 patients aged 50–80, followed by a monitoring phase and data evaluation. Candidates still have the opportunity to apply for participation (see below). The approved clinical study is followed by another strategic ambition of the group: the registration of the world’s first medical device utilizing molecular hydrogen. The initial focus is on the use of molecular hydrogen in Alzheimer’s dementia (both prevention and treatment), with potential expansion into other indications such as type 2 diabetes, vision and hearing disorders, skin conditions, and more. This modularity is also important for the partner ecosystem, allowing clinics and longevity service providers to gradually expand their offerings and target specific client needs—from regeneration and vitality to specialized supplementary protocols.

Call for Participation in the Clinical Study

H2 Medical Technologies has also issued a public call for volunteers who wish to participate in the study and meet the basic criteria: age 50–80, overall good health, a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, or mild to moderate dementia, and ideally residence in Ostrava or the surrounding area where the study will take place. Participation in the study does not guarantee any health benefit and should not be considered a substitute for standard treatment. Interested individuals can apply by 19 January 2026 via email: david.skoloudik@H2medical.com

A Patent That Turns a Molecule into a Platform

H2 Global Group continues to systematically build its intellectual property portfolio and follows up on previously registered patents with a newly granted European patent EP3701956B1, “Prophylactic or Therapeutic Agent for Dementia,” originated by Japanese Professor Shigeo Ohta and his team, with H2 Global Group as the patent holder. The patent describes the use of molecular hydrogen in neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias. The patent is currently in the process of being extended to additional global territories. From an investment perspective, the key factor is the combination of scientific foundations, patent protection, a regulatory plan, and clinical data—through which a “simple molecule” becomes a scalable technological platform.

The Path to Regulated Medicine: Clinical Data, Safety, and Responsibility

Professional leadership toward regulated medicine is overseen by PharmDr. Milan Krajíček, Director of Research and Development at H2 Medical Technologies. “Our solution represents a completely new, non-invasive, and safe method, whose effects on neurodegenerative diseases are now the subject of clinical testing,” he says. With regard to the launch of the study, he adds that initiating a clinical trial directly linked to Professor Ohta’s patent is both an honor and a responsibility. For investors and clinics, this is a clear signal that the goal is not a marketing story, but a medically tangible project grounded in data. Safety is paramount. Neurologist Prof. MUDr. David Školoudík, Ph.D., the medical guarantor of the study, states: “The device produces hydrogen at a relatively low and safe concentration.”

From a Personal Story to an International Ambition

David Maršálek is now successfully leveraging his many years of practical experience and studies at Dublin Business School in Ireland to build an international technological platform in the fields of longevity and modern medicine. Fourteen years have passed since he met Professor Dušan Miljkovič in the United States—a scientist and his first mentor, who was the first in the world to introduce a hydrogen-based dietary supplement. This moment sparked a journey that gradually evolved into a project with global ambitions.

Maršálek has built a team of experts he collaborates with, including Professor Shigeo Ohta from Japan, a team from Palacký University led by Associate Professor Michal Botek, PharmDr. Milan Krajíček, MUDr. Pavel Malovič, PhD., MPH, and others. The result of this long-term collaboration is the creation of H2 Global Group and H2 Medical Technologies, which today focus on research and development of molecular hydrogen in medicine.

Virtual Reality with Molecular Hydrogen: A Globally Unique Ecosystem

H2 Global Group has also expanded its ecosystem into rehabilitation and psychology through a 20% equity stake in VR LIFE / VR Vitalis. This project is now among the most advanced digital rehabilitation systems in Europe and, following H2 Global Group’s entry, has shown rapid and measurable growth: the number of therapeutic modules expanded from 22 to 52, the solution obtained MDR certification as a medical device, and it is actively used in clinical practice across the European Union. To date, more than 63,000 therapeutic exercises have been conducted on the VR Vitalis platform, confirming not only technological maturity but also a high level of acceptance by therapists and patients. The system is deployed in hospitals and specialized facilities in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries, and today ranks among the three most widely used therapeutic VR platforms in Europe in terms of real clinical application.

The uniqueness of this project within the H2 Global Group ecosystem lies in the integration of regulated VR rehabilitation with molecular hydrogen inhalation, protected by a utility model and a patent application. This combination makes it possible to simultaneously work with attention, mental calming, guided breathing, and physiological processes associated with cellular regeneration, including in the brain. “Virtual reality allows the patient to fully immerse themselves in a guided environment, disconnect from external stressors, and focus on breathing and movement. When this state is combined with molecular hydrogen inhalation, a very interesting space emerges for supporting mental balance, rehabilitation, and regeneration,” explains Mgr. Jana Trdá, Ph.D., co-founder of VR LIFE.

For partners, this platform represents another practical and immediately usable level of cooperation—from rehabilitation and neurological centers to private clinics, sports medicine, and preventive and longevity programs. From both a business and clinical perspective, it is a unique example of how regulated medical technology, real-world data, and a scalable model with global potential can be combined.

Investment Window Before Reaching Key Milestones

In MedTech, company value typically does not increase linearly, but rather in jumps—at moments when key milestones are achieved, such as the launch of a clinical trial, data evaluation, or successful regulatory steps. These moments often transform a project from a technological story into a strategic asset sought after by global players.

H2 Global Group openly communicates its ambition to achieve registration of the world’s first medical device utilizing molecular hydrogen, so that it becomes available within healthcare reimbursement systems in medical facilities and to the general public, and subsequently to expand the platform with additional applications and indications. The fact that such regulatorily anchored platforms become acquisition targets worth tens of billions of dollars is confirmed by long-term market developments: Medtronic acquired Covidien for approximately USD 43 billion, Abbott acquired St. Jude Medical for about USD 25 billion, Boston Scientific acquired Guidant for USD 27 billion, BD bought CR Bard for USD 24 billion, and Johnson & Johnson paid around USD 20 billion for Synthes and another USD 17 billion for Abiomed. These transactions clearly show that extraordinary value in MedTech arises when clinical data, regulatory credibility, a scalable business model, and strong market positioning come together. These are precisely the factors H2 Global Group is deliberately focusing on at this stage. This is where an attractive entry opportunity opens today for investors who want to enter before key clinical and regulatory milestones—at a point with historically the highest potential for appreciation.

A Strategic Call for Investors and Partners: Enter a New Era of Longevity and the Medicine of the Future

H2 Global Group now stands at the intersection of several fundamental global trends: the rapidly growing longevity economy, the dramatically increasing problem of dementia, and the need for new, measurable, and safe medical solutions that can withstand clinical and regulatory scrutiny. For investors and partners, a period is opening that can be compared to historic moments when humanity found answers to major health threats—from the discovery of antibiotics to breakthrough vaccination and therapeutic platforms. In each case, it was not just about a scientific discovery, but about the emergence of entirely new industries and long-term market leaders. A similar chapter has already begun in the field of cognitive longevity and the use of molecular hydrogen in medicine.

“We process new inquiries daily not only from investors, but also from potential partners from various parts of the world who see an opportunity to expand their portfolios or activities with our hydrogen solutions,” says David Maršálek. “H2 Global Group is therefore deliberately opening space for investors, distributors, and strategic partners who want to co-create a new standard of longevity and the medicine of the future, and to be present at the birth of this unique platform before its value is fully reflected in the global market,” concludes David Maršálek.

“Staying Forever Young”: H2 Global Group Brings a Hydrogen Standard to the Longevity Sector

“Staying Forever Young”: H2 Global Group Brings a Hydrogen Standard to the Longevity Sector

Prague, 3 December 2025 (PROTEXT) – The longevity market is experiencing a global boom. More and more people are becoming aware of the vast possibilities of today’s modern world, and the desire to reach an advanced age while staying free of major health issues and in good physical condition is growing. What was until recently an area reserved mainly for biohackers and enthusiasts is becoming a serious multidisciplinary business attracting investors, medical and pharmaceutical groups, and luxury wellness brands. According to expert estimates, the global longevity market could reach a value of around USD 1.87 trillion by 2034. Projects that manage to combine clinical credibility, measurable results, and premium services will come out on top. For several years, the technological standard in this field has been set by the Czech group H2 Global Group, specializing in the use of molecular hydrogen in medicine, longevity, beauty, and sports, supported by its subsidiaries H2 Medical Technologies, H2 Pharm, and H2 Longevity Lifestyle.

From “Blue Zones” to a Modern and Innovative Approach to Geriatrics

Today’s concept of longevity builds both on inspiration from so-called “Blue Zones”—regions with a high proportion of long-lived inhabitants—and on modern “geroscience,” which describes aging as a biological process influenced, among other factors, by oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. According to numerous scientific studies, molecular hydrogen plays a very important role in these mechanisms. Many clinical studies and expert papers indicate that it acts as a selective antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory and mitochondria-protective effects, and in preclinical and clinical studies shows significant potential in cognitive health, neurodegenerative diseases, physical performance, and regeneration. Hydrogen is not a miraculous “elixir of immortality,” but a promising bioactive molecule that fits well into the philosophy of safe, long-term, and measurable support for lifespan and healthspan.

 

H2 Global Group: A Czech Innovator in Molecular Hydrogen

H2 Global Group, headquartered in the Czech Republic, was founded with the goal of building a complete technological and product ecosystem around molecular hydrogen. The group employs physicians, scientists, and pharmacists, has its own R&D facilities, and works closely with Japanese professor Shigeo Ohta—considered the father and founder of hydrogen biomedicine—who is also a co-owner of the company. The company’s portfolio includes solutions for medicine, neuroscience, beauty and wellness, spas and medical centers, sports teams, and corporate wellness programs.

 

H2 Medical Technologies and Controlled Hydrogen Therapy

A key role in the group’s MedTech segment is played by its subsidiary H2 Medical Technologies.

It will also be used in the first clinical trial in the Czech Republic, approved by the State Institute for Drug Control (SÚKL), involving molecular hydrogen inhalation for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that often precedes Alzheimer’s dementia.

This clinical study will begin in early 2026 and aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of controlled hydrogen therapy in MCI patients. Recruitment is currently underway, and the company is looking for suitable volunteers diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. Applicants must meet these basic criteria: age 50–80, overall good health, a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or mild to moderate dementia, and ideally residence in Ostrava or the surrounding area where the study will take place. Participation does not guarantee any health benefits and should not be considered a substitute for standard treatment. Interested individuals may apply until 23 December 2025 at: david.skoloudik@H2medical.com.

This step elevates the use of molecular hydrogen from a supplementary wellness tool to a serious medical instrument of the near future, with potential not only in cognitive health and dementia prevention. This study follows the European patent EP3701956B1 “Prophylactic or Therapeutic Agent for Dementia,” authored by Professor Ohta and held by H2 Global Group. The patent describes the use of molecular hydrogen in neurodegenerative conditions including dementias and gives the Czech Republic a unique position on the global stage.

Building on successful scientific research, the H2 Longevity® Center was recently opened in Ostrava. This next-generation center combines molecular hydrogen inhalation using H2 Medical Technologies devices, light therapy, hydrogen hydration through H2 Premium Hydrogen Water, specialized hydrogen dietary supplements, and education on regeneration and healthy longevity. The center functions as a showroom for distributors, investors, and partners, as well as for customers. The group plans to use the acquired know-how to build a network of partner H2 Longevity® concepts in other cities and countries.

A Strategic Global Partner with a Unique Hydrogen Solution

A major part of the business also involves collaboration with partners seeking to launch their own premium hydrogen-based longevity product lines. Interest is coming from various countries across Europe and beyond. These include medical centers, wellness hotels, private clinics, and other facilities focused on biohacking, longevity, body care, and overall regeneration. Partners appreciate the option to create their own premium brand as well as the ability to leverage the company’s existing portfolio. H2 Global Group thus acts as a strategic global partner—not just a manufacturer, but a leader of the entire segment—setting the direction for hydrogen technologies while supporting brand building and the growth of its distribution partners.

 

Hydrogen as a Pillar of Longevity

The group offers partners the opportunity to build a comprehensive system of hydrogen-based care with emphasis on maximum safety and therapeutic efficacy. The system includes professional training on installation, handling, and use of molecular hydrogen inhalation devices; proven procedures and protocols; incorporation of hydrogen water into hydration routines; and hydrogen dietary supplements to enhance therapy outcomes. Technical support, including warranty and post-warranty service, is guaranteed. The modular and scalable system can be tailored to clients’ needs and local market specifics, while drawing on scientific and practical knowledge and accumulated experience.

Opportunities for Service Providers, Distributors, and Investors

Thank you to everyone who supports us on this journey and helps us develop Czech innovation with global reach.

H2 Global Group – Our Story

H2 Global Group – Our Story

It has been nearly 14 years since David Maršálek happened to meet Professor Dušan Miljković in the USA – the man who first introduced a hydrogen-based dietary supplement to the world. This moment set in motion a journey that has led to a project with global ambitions today.

Over time, other top scientists joined him – Professor Shigeo Ohta from Japan, Professor Jan Slezák, a team from Palacký University, and other experts from Europe, the USA, and Japan. This is how H2 Global Group was created, followed later by H2 Medical Technologies, focused on research and development of molecular hydrogen in medicine.

From a single idea to a breakthrough clinical study

What began as an interest in dietary supplements gradually revealed that molecular hydrogen has potential in medicine as well – especially in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. Thanks to an international team of experts, the idea emerged to create the world’s first medical device based on molecular hydrogen.

And in 2025, a major breakthrough came:

  • SÚKL approved the first clinical study in the Czech Republic evaluating the safety of inhaling molecular hydrogen in patients with mild cognitive impairment.

  • The study builds on successful Japanese research by Professor Ohta, who is also behind the European patent EP3701956B1 for the prevention and treatment of dementias.

A Czech project with global reach

We collaborate on this project with leading scientific teams, including Professor MUDr. David Školoudík and experts from Palacký University. Our vision is to contribute to the medicine of the future—one that focuses not only on treatment, but above all on the prevention of civilization diseases.

Although we are a small country, today we have something exceptional:
patents, technology, and an international team capable of setting the direction for global medicine.

A Czech Breakthrough in Global Medicine: Molecular Hydrogen Becomes the Subject of the First Clinical Study of Its Kind in the Czech Republic

https://www.ceskenoviny.cz/tiskove/zpravy/cesky-prulom-do-svetove-mediciny-molekularni-vodik-je-tematem-prvni-klinicke-studie-sveho-druhu-v-cr/2747234

“Alzheimer’s dementia: a breakthrough gentle Czech solution turns a problem into an opportunity. And investors don’t want to miss out.”

“Alzheimer’s dementia: a breakthrough gentle Czech solution turns a problem into an opportunity. And investors don’t want to miss out.”

Precisely in this field comes news from the Czech Republic with the potential to place the country on the map of world medicine. The State Institute for Drug Control (SÚKL) has approved the first clinical study in the Czech Republic that will evaluate the safety of inhaling molecular hydrogen in patients with mild cognitive impairment, a frequent precursor of Alzheimer’s dementia. The project is led by the Czech company H2 Medical Technologies, part of the H2 Global Group.

“We want to bring high-quality data and open a discussion about how molecular hydrogen can fit into the medicine of the future. Our solution represents an entirely new, non-invasive, and safe method that has the potential to become an innovative approach, whose effects on neurodegenerative diseases are now the subject of clinical testing,” says PharmDr. Milan Krajíček, Director of Research, Development and Production and co-founder of H2 Global Group.

Why we can no longer afford to wait

The development of Alzheimer’s disease is driven by a combination of factors: older age and genetic load, cardiovascular risks (high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking), unhealthy lifestyle, lack of movement and sleep, long-term stress, and processes in the brain such as oxidative stress and inflammation. The result is not just “forgetfulness” but a gradual loss of independence and enormous pressure on families and the care system.

“From a neurologist’s perspective, this is no longer just a medical issue, but a major social topic. If we don’t start addressing it actively today, a very difficult future awaits us,” warns Professor MUDr. David Školoudík, Ph.D., a neurologist who will lead this groundbreaking study.

After the COVID crisis, a global “tsunami of demand” is growing for diagnostics and care, specialized beds, trained personnel, and home and community care. Dementia is shifting from a marginal part of geriatrics to the center of social and economic debate for the coming decades.

Molecular hydrogen: a Czech patent with global ambition

Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is a gas naturally occurring in the body that is recently attracted attention from scientists worldwide. Thousands of studies describe its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cell-protective potential and its ability to influence energy metabolism. Experts do not view it as a “miracle drug” but as a modulator of cellular processes and a promising complement to other health-care approaches.

“We see molecular hydrogen as a tool that can gently influence cellular processes. That is why we need more high-quality clinical data to know exactly where it makes sense,” says Professor Shigeo Ohta from Japan, globally regarded as the father and founder of molecular hydrogen research and co-founder of H2 Global Group.

A significant milestone is the European patent EP3701956B1, “Prophylactic or therapeutic agent for dementia”, authored by Professor Ohta and held by H2 Global Group. The patent describes the use of molecular hydrogen in neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias, giving the Czech Republic a unique position on the global scene.

SÚKL-approved clinical study: when science, medicine, and business come together

This patent now forms the basis for the first clinical study of its kind in the Czech Republic, approved by SÚKL and the Ethics Committee of University Hospital Ostrava. The study will evaluate the safety of inhaling molecular hydrogen in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It will begin in January 2026 and last six months. Approximately 30 patients aged 50–80 will participate. They will inhale molecular hydrogen for one hour a day, five days a week, for three months, followed by three months of monitoring, including cognitive tests, selected biochemical parameters, and quality-of-life assessments.

“We don’t want to promise miracles; we want to obtain more data,” summarizes Professor Školoudík. “Only then will we be able to responsibly say what role molecular hydrogen inhalation may have for this group of patients.”

Once evaluated, the results will be published in professional journals and become another step toward making the Czech Republic the birthplace of the world’s first registered medical device using molecular hydrogen.

Call for participation: help yourself, your family, and future generations

H2 Medical Technologies is launching a public call for volunteers who wish to participate in the study and meet basic criteria: age 50–80, overall good health, a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, or mild to moderate dementia, and ideally residence in Ostrava or its surroundings.

Interested individuals can apply until 23 December 2025 at: david.skoloudik@H2medical.com

H2 Global Group is a medical-technology group that develops, manufactures, and exclusively supplies innovative and safe products and devices using molecular hydrogen. Today, its solutions are used by spas and wellness centers, sports clubs and elite athletes, private clinics, cosmetic and beauty sectors, corporate health-care programs, and increasingly also ordinary households. It collaborates with physicians, therapists, universities, and scientific teams in the Czech Republic and abroad. It holds several patents and utility models and aims to register the world’s first medical device with molecular hydrogen in the Czech Republic, followed by expansion worldwide.

“When you are healthy, you have thousands of problems to solve. When you become ill, only one remains – how to get well,” says David Maršálek, founder and CEO of H2 Global Group, who introduced molecular hydrogen to the Czech Republic—and later other European countries—14 years ago as the world’s first food supplement of its kind. Since then, through ongoing research, development, and new generations of products and devices, molecular hydrogen has entered Czech homes, companies, spas, clinics, and other places where people seek gentle ways to support their health, vitality, and longevity.

“Despite thousands of published studies and expert articles on molecular hydrogen, we must remain humble. Our duty is to distinguish between marketing and real evidence-based medicine,” emphasizes PharmDr. Milan Krajíček. “That is why we invest in regulated research, clinical studies, and cooperation with top institutions,” he adds.

H2 Global Group thus integrates several layers of social responsibility:
– scientific (systematic research and clinical testing),
– ethical (cooperation with SÚKL and ethics committees, emphasis on patient safety),
– economic (the growing market for medical technologies and preventive medicine),
– and local (innovation developed in the Czech Republic but aimed at patients worldwide).

A unique opportunity for investors to be present at the birth of the ‘hydrogen-era medicine’

Alzheimer’s dementia and other cognitive disorders represent one of the largest future markets—not only in medicine, but also in services, technology, and long-term care. Any solution that can improve patients’ quality of life, delay loss of independence, or reduce caregiver burden has enormous social and economic impact.

Many Czech investors have already seized this opportunity by becoming part of H2 Global Group and contributing to the development of the “medicine of the future”. After the COVID crisis, global demand for innovative MedTech and HealthTech solutions has been rising—solutions that make care more efficient, support prevention, and also focus on active longevity, helping people not only live longer but live better. Additional investors can now join at this decisive stage, at the moment when patent-protected know-how, regulated clinical research, worldwide market demand, and Czech technology with global potential meet in a single project—precisely what investors most often seek.

Being there when a new Czech medical story is written

Alzheimer’s dementia dramatically affects the lives of patients and their loved ones, and experts warn that without active solutions, it will become a deep social and economic problem. The H2 Medical Technologies project and the long-term activities of H2 Global Group show that even a relatively small country can generate an initiative that moves global medicine forward and places social responsibility at the heart of business.

“Now is the time to decide who and how will be part of this—whether as an investor, expert, patient, family caregiver, or future user of molecular hydrogen technologies,” concludes Maršálek.
