Boosting Interregional Innovation Investment and Cooperation among Health Innovation Ecosystems
The I3HIES project aims to strengthen collaboration between healthcare institutions, research organisations, companies, and policymakers across Europe.
By enhancing regional innovation capacities and aligning them with Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3), the project supports practical, implementation-oriented actions that accelerate digital transformation and health innovation.
Behind every project milestone are people — innovators, doctors, and researchers — working together to make healthcare better.
The I3HIES Success Stories capture these moments of collaboration and discovery.
They showcase how a startup refined its solution after meeting a hospital team, how an investor connection opened new growth opportunities, and how expert mentoring helped turn an early idea into a viable product.
Some stories go even further — a cross-border partnership bringing innovation to widening countries, or a regional project earning the EUREKA Smart Label and stepping confidently onto the European stage.
Each story represents a small but meaningful step towards a more connected, innovative, and human-centred healthcare system.
