"NamNR Pro is a company that has created the world's first Upwork/Fiverr-like marketplace platform, for the Dental Tech space, called the 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬' 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐥ᵀᴹ. Our platform offers DenTech companies access to Premium Dental Advisors and a large cohort of clinicians, to support their projects & milestones, from early device development to post-market support.
In addition, with dentists more likely to commit suicide than any other profession globally, we're up-skilling & opening up alternate revenue channels for clinicians via our Premium Dental Advisor Program, so that they may contribute more to industry, whilst supporting their families better.
Overall, we're in the Business of Smiles, as we create a healthier, more practical & sustainable environment, within the Dental space."

Our business idea revolves around pharMe, a digital counselling tool for pharmacies. Customers can self-report their health problems to ensure discretion and efficiency, while pharMe supports pharmacists in providing evidence-based knowledge for high-quality care. By empowering pharmacies as primary care providers, pharMe offers a solution to address the shortage of physicians and reduce healthcare costs.
