FI4INN

Improving access to funding for market-driven research

Funding schemes for market-driven research and innovation are rare in central Europe. Finance providers and policy makers often shy away from introducing such schemes due to their complexity. The FI4NN project changed this by supporting the co-design of new finance instruments in regions that want to boost research and innovation. A knowledge centre promotes innovative instruments that already exist elsewhere and new financial instruments ...

Food4CE

Supplying food in a more sustainable way

Alternative food networks seek to transform food supplies by connecting ethical producers and consumers more directly. Systemic policies to support such networks are widely missing in central Europe and it is time to change this. The FOOD4CE project established local and transnational hubs for the food and logistics sectors, in which they can exchange good practices and take up innovative technologies. The hubs are ...

HealthBridge_CE

Helping proven digital health solutions cross borders

A digital health tool accepted in one central European country may have to prove its value all over again in the next. This delays the introduction of promising solutions and keeps them from patients. Building on four earlier Interreg projects, the project creates a shared way for hospitals, innovators and public authorities to test solutions and produce evidence that different health systems can trust. ...

ICTr-CE

Helping businesses profit from cycling routes

The potential of transnational cycling routes for tourism is still underdeveloped in central Europe. This includes the Iron Curtain Eurovelo Trail, which connects regions from Poland to Croatia along the European Green Belt. The ICTr-CE project improved the business case for this route by developing new tourism products. These result from a newly developed participatory business model, which strengthens the innovation capacities of local businesses.

LINK-AGE

Bringing proven care solutions across borders

Promising approaches to elderly care often remain limited to the regions where they were first tested because services, responsibilities and standards differ across central Europe. LINK-AGE adapts solutions from four earlier Interreg projects so they can work in new settings. Six pilots will cover needs ranging from prevention and support at home to residential care. Their lessons will help authorities and care providers improve ...

MedWaveImage

Introducing microwave imaging to hospitals

Healthcare institutions suffer from a considerable undersupply of employees as well as from a lack of sufficient infrastructure and equipment.

RADAR Care

Helping older people live safely and independently

Older people in central Europe’s border regions do not always benefit equally from new care technologies because rules, technical systems and staff experience differ between countries. RADAR Care adapts solutions from earlier Interreg projects that use radar technologies with smart textiles to monitor movement and possible risks without cameras or intrusive devices. Care providers in new regions will test them in different homes and ...

RehAllianCE

Innovating the rehabilitation care system

Rehabilitation is care that helps people get back or improve abilities necessary for their daily life. The challenge is that such a care often lies with the family without much systemic or technological support. The RehAlliance project helps MedTech companies to break-through and accelerate the commercilisation of their products. The project partners share experiences and good practices to develop a set of policy recommendations ...
