InnoHSupport answers the Horizon Europe call "SUPPORTING INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT-INNOHSUPPORT" within the framework: HORIZON-EIE-2023-CONNECT-02-02: Specialist Advisory Services to build capacities on innovation procurement.
InnoHSupport will act as an intermediary between buyers, innovative suppliers and investors, ensuring an ecosystem of exchange, learning and adoption between them.
The three fundamental principles that will guide the entire process on which the project is based are:
INCLUSION, from a very broad point of view (public and private organisations, buyers and suppliers, innovation support organisations, regional participation and gender dimension).
CO-CREATION, ensuring the participation of relevant actors, mainly suppliers, paying special attention to SMEs and also to investors to improve their perceptions and opinions and their contributions to create fluid and efficient processes.
CULTURE CHANGE, identifying, in joint and individual interactions, any potential barriers that need to be eliminated as the only way to obtain long-term adoption of the innovation contracting instrument
The InnoHSupport project, hosted on https://innohsupport.eu, aims to enhance the capacity of healthcare procurers to adopt innovative solutions. This initiative addresses challenges such as rising healthcare costs, an aging population, and the need for sustainable practices. Key features of InnoHSupport include:
- Innovation Procurement Agora: A collaborative space for public and private stakeholders to share best practices and accelerate the adoption of new technologies.
- Advisory Services and Training Programs: Tailored support to guide healthcare professionals through the innovation procurement process.
- Sustainability Focus: Promoting environmentally sustainable procurement strategies that align with global sustainability goals.
The project brings together nine partner organizations to leverage their collective expertise and deliver these resources effectively
