Innovative Health Initiative: IHI Call 13

IHI call 13 is a two-stage call with topics on accelerating healthcare innovation through networks, reducing animal use in drug safety studies, and decoding the immuno-science of diseases affected by ageing and the immune system. Network: Innovative Health Initiative Aim of the joint call: The overall aim of this call topic is to create a European HealthCare Incubator Network (‘the Network’) that delivers a structured support framework to enable more effective progression of outputs of early-stage healthcare companies toward deployable innovations in the healthcare ecosystem. The Network should create a unique, multi-sectorial network of business leaders and funders across the whole health industry and be exceptionally well placed to provide cross-industry business support and networking to promising start-ups. In practice, this should be achieved by providing both financial support (via FSTP) and direct interactions with large-cap pharmaceutical and medical technology industries/ companies.
