Watify matchmaking event on Biotechnology in Healthcare

Description

The Watify initiative is an awareness-raising campaign, funded by the European Commission, to stimulate the technological transformation of Europe’s industry. Watify is organising a matchmaking event on Biotechnology and Healthcare in Zagreb, in cooperation with the Zagreb Development Agency and the Ruđer Bošković Institute.

Focus

• Challenges and opportunities of biotechnologies in healthcare applications

• Inter-regional / cross-border value chains

• Bilateral meetings and multilateral between public and private actors

• Inter-regional / cross-border cooperation on targeted focus areas

The objective of the matchmaking event is to facilitate inter-regional / cross-border cooperation between regional public and private sector actors in the development of joint initiatives /partnerships or joint demonstration projects in biotechnologies and healthcare– matching S3 priorities and exploiting identified synergies and complementary resources and strengths. Inter-regional or cross-border cooperation can help to exploit complementarities/synergies (i.e. different value chain positions, technologies, etc.), pool resources and infrastructures across Europe, address non-technological issues (e.g. standards) and enlarge the potential user-base.
