Project description
A dose of support for healthcare SMEs
The healthcare sector is projected to grow, adding more jobs than any of the other occupational groups. The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly impacted the sector, with health systems struggling to meet the rising level of demand. Assisting health entrepreneurs and SMEs is important. In this context, the EU-funded Peer2Scale-Health project will address the triple-demand coming from SMEs facing specificities of the health sector (time to market, financial needs and regulations) and innovation agencies as well as the EU (competitiveness of the life sciences sector). The project will optimise the support tools and programmes used by young health SMEs and start-ups in order to prepare them for the scale-up process.
Objective
Peer2Scale-Health is a 12-month peer-learning action proposed by 4 regional health innovation agencies acting as clusters providing specific innovation support services to their network of health SMEs: Eurasanté (Hauts-de-France), BioM (Bavaria), Biocat (Catalonia) and lifetech.brussels (Brussels).
This Twinning+ project is about a mutual learning on our best practices and the design of a common innovation programme around the concept of raising “entrepreneurship skills” in health entrepreneurs and SMEs, at the time they go through the critical scale-up process. The project addresses a triple-demand coming from: SMEs facing specificities of health sector (time-to-market, financial needs, regulation…), innovation agencies but also the EU (competitiveness of the life sciences sector). The final DOP will help to engage more health innovation agencies in a peer-learning action, and will nurture a follow-up initiative to further implement the co-designed programme, for the benefit of SMEs.
