#BioEuropeSpring_2024 in Barcelona has been great - not only the spring temperatures but also the partnering meetings 😊! During these days I’ve had privilege to re-connect with old partners and connect with new one’s and get the opportunity to present Skåne’s biotech companies and ecosystem, and also listening to interesting panel discussions such as “Closing the gap: the imperative for women’s health in biopharma”. #McKinseyHealthInstitute in collaboration with the #WorldEconomicForum Center for Health and Healthcare, recently published a report "Closing the Women's Health Gap: A $1 Trillion Opportunity to Improve Lives and Economies," where the panel discussed the health, research and investment gaps in women’s health – and how to over-bridge these obstacles. Another interesting panel discussion was “Unleaching healthcare: the power of AI, data, and personalized therapies”, were I got introduced to a new terminology; #DigitalTherapeutics (Dtx) - which is “evidence-based therapeutic interventions driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease”(according to Wikipedia). #PainDrainer, is one of the companies ticking in all the boxes as a Dtx. Barcelona, thank you for this great event - and now we’re looking forward to welcome you all to Stockholm, Sweden in November! #businessweden #swedenbio #investinskane #businessregiongöteborg #investstockholm #umeå

🚀 Invitation : Table discussion - A future Innovation Amplifier on the front line? 🚀 Innovations are key to overcoming frontline crises and challenges, but very few succeed in crossing the gap between pilot project and scale-up. But if we had an innovation amplifier with a mandate to help mandate to help overcome the many obstacles to scale-up in Quebec? Under the leadership of the Collège québécois des médecins de famille, in collaboration with the Bureau de l'Innovation of the MSSS, we are inviting innovators, clinical leaders and strategic players in innovation and the front line to a registered discussion table (60 places) as part of the Congrès First Line in Health. Here's what's in store: 1. Summarize the challenges of scaling from innovators, strategic players and science. (2 short panels and 1 presentation) 2. Presentation of a prototype for a front-line innovation amplifier that could accompany accompany innovations as they are deployed in Quebec (1 dynamic presentation) 3. YOUR FEEDBACK on needs and the prototype of the amplifier (blind spots, etc.) -3 questions where we want to hear from you with participative participative Join us for an interactive session where your feedback and ideas will shape the future of frontline innovation in Quebec.

Interesting meeting about EHDS.... RWE4Decisions

The EUVECA project supports the #sustainability of Europe's #healthcare by providing professionals with future-oriented skills to address some of the sector challengs, one being personalised medicine. 🤝 The Horizon 2020 Advisory Group defines personalised medicine as "a medical model using characterisation of individuals’ phenotypes and genotypes for tailoring the right therapeutic strategy for the right person at the right time". 📝 There is an ongoing transition from #technology to #biology, as new innovations have led to an increased uptake of microbiological treatments. 💊 Continued advancements in genetic engineering and biotechnologies will shape the future of personalised care and #prevention strategies, requiring new approaches to #skills development within the health care sector. 🔬 A communication on enabling the digital transformation of health and care in the digital single market was adopted in April 2018 by the European Commission. It identifies 3 main priorities for personalised medicine: 1. Citizens' secure access to their health data, also across borders. 2. Personalised medicine through shared European data infrastructure. 3. Citizen empowerment with digital tools for user feedback and person-centred care.

Europe has the foundations in place to be a highly competitive economy, and yet, its growth is slowing down. According to Mario Draghi’s Competitiveness Report which was released on 9 September 2024, closing innovation gaps must be Europe’s first priority. “Europe is attractive for its innovative medical technology research ecosystem, its efficient and accessible healthcare system, and its growing efforts towards value-based healthcare. However, the European region indeed has work to do if it is to retain its historic place as the global ‘epicenter’ of medtech innovation,” comments Oliver Bisazza, CEO of MedTech Europe. “One of Europe’s many strengths is its unrivalled innovation creation,” he explains. The medical technology sector in Europe files a patent every 30 minutes: this is a testament to the commitment of the medtech sector to save lives and help people manage and improve their health. At the same time, Europe faces the challenge of bridging its top-tier innovation creation, and managing an often slow innovation launch. Coupled with tough competition from other regions of the world, Europe’s international competitiveness gap is widening. Read more: https://bit.ly/4dP08w1

EU funding may be a gamechanger for emerging and advanced health technologies. Check out some insights by EurA AG after they presented a roadmap for successful applications for EU funding in #healthcare. 👇 📌 Almost all research and innovation related funds recognize the importance of the randomized clinical trials and provide funds with up to 100% coverage. 📌 Interesting calls to come under #HorizonEurope, #EIC and #EU4health. Truly novel ideas often persevere and get funded. 📌 The early bird wins it all! Be advised to look into the annual work programs and prepare long before the call opening. 🌐 The international EurA networks, funded under the Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM), have been recognized as a valuable approach for building large-scale consortia and attracting EU funding.

[#innaxe4eu] 🇩🇰 🔎 Zoom on co-creation in Denmark! 🛠️ From a roundtable organized in Copenhagen to individual meetings with Key Opinion Leaders, the Danish Life Science Cluster brought INNAXE’s major topics to the attention of key health and life science stakeholders. A couple of insights from those interviews and cocreation session: 📌Approval for an international cluster2cluster collaboration for joint actions in the 9 major topics like MedTech, digital health, public procurement but also and importantly for equity in health; 📌Cascade funding calls as a tool for investment in the field of public procurement with hospitals pitching their needs to ignite innovation power before the calls; 📌Equity in health: there is a huge geopolitical driver in Europe to lift the quality healthcare in all countries to the same level. Lack of equity can be used as a powerhouse to generate new generation technologies with more adequate pricing models. Inputs from the Danish ecosystem in feeding INNAXE’s topics were invaluable for our joint action plan. 🙏Many thanks to all of our Danish participants and to Danish Life Science Cluster. #innaxe4eu #Denmark #innovation #health #clusters #lifescience Karen Lindegaard

📣 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵-𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 | 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 The healthcare system is facing major challenges. High costs, an ageing society and the increasing shortage of specialists can lead to serious consequences on both sides of the border. This can only be countered by new, innovative approaches. These include the use of artificial intelligence, advancing digitalization and significantly expanded prevention. This requires networking between science, business and healthcare providers. The healthcare systems in the Netherlands and Germany take different approaches, so close integration of the players on both sides of the border can make the best of both worlds and generate innovative impetus. The Dutch-German Business Dialogue on December 3rd, 2024 in Münster will provide a platform to discuss solutions for overcoming the challenges. The focus here will be on prevention in particular. Following a keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Alexander Friedrich, the subsequent panel discussion with companies from the MedTech and healthcare sector will offer all German and Dutch players a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and network. 📅 Tuesday 3 December 2024 ⏰ 15.00 - 18.30 hrs 📍 Universitätsklinikum Münster 📝 https://lnkd.in/ebJsZxdu Oost NL, Duits-Nederlandse Handelskamer (DNHK), Twente Board, World Trade Center Twente, MedTech Twente.
