Events
Healthtronics – Virtual Economic Missions
The three events are virtual business missions whose main objective is to establish cooperation between EU and entities from the US, Israel and Japan. The meetings will allow you to get acquainted with the digital health sector in the EU and the three target countries. We will do our best to broaden your horizons in the modern technology industry and provide practical knowledge in the field of product commercialization. It will also be a great opportunity to meet companies that are successful in the implementation of health and electronics and thus can be an inspiration for new projects.

Brief information
Background
Medical technologies are products, services or solutions used to save and improve people’s lives. This health and wellbeing applications are available in hospitals, community-care settings and at home (sticking plasters, screening tests, pregnancy tests, hearing aids, body scanners, gene mutation tests, implantable devices, joints for knees and hips). There are more than 25.000 SMEs in Europe’s health and wellbeing sector. The associated market worldwide is €426 billion (€115 billion in Europe) and the value chains are becoming more and more global.
Objectives and approach
The main objective of the project is to build-up a partnership of world leading clusters to configure a “European Strategic Cluster Partnership – Going International” focused on internationalization of electronics (printed, embedded…) technologies applied to health and wellbeing sectors. This European Strategic Cluster Partnership (ESCP-4i) will lead 5 EU clusters (and their SMEs) to increase their competitiveness and innovation potential for internationalization with a common European approach, fostering international cooperation among SMEs, and enhance Innovation, in the field of electronics applied to health and wellbeing sectors.
The Partnership will involve from the beginning clusters from Spain, Germany (Saxony), Romania, Poland (Pomerania) and Latvia, but with a European vocation and covering the whole value chain from materials to health and wellbeing markets.
The work methodology will be structured on 3 core actions to ensure:
- involvement of Cluster members in the bottom-up definition and implementation of the internationalization strategy
- building a strong and compact internationalization partnership implementing joint actions (organisation of 5 EU matchmaking events and 3 missions to Targeted Third Countries (TTC))
- committing the resulting EU stakeholders on a long-term and self-sustainable implementation roadmap
The Partnership will start with the following TTC candidates: Japan, USA, South Korea, Israel, Canada, Taiwan, China
