Technologies The general idea: healthcare cluster

11 Healthcare cluster actors Hospitals and other healthcare players Public research organisation (Univ et al.) Private and public companies Healthcare cluster supporters Technology parks Business Incubators Development agencies

12 Roles of Healthcare cluster actors The development of a Healthcare Economy Cluster is a sort of chemical reaction which need two reagents: the main players, i.e. know-how providers (hospitals, universities, public research organisation), and the entrepreneurship providers. To raise the reaction, even if there is a good base of human resources, in most cases other players (intermediate players) are needed: business incubators, technology parks, technology transfer entities, private equity, public investment funds etc.

13 Objectives of the project Production of 2 feasibility studies about regional healthcare public-private economy clusters; Production of 1 feasibility study about inter- regional virtual cluster about healthcare R&D; Design of an Integrated Project to be proposed within Structural Funds in programming period, for competitiveness cluster in healthcare economy. Exchange experiences in integrated project management;

14 Schedule of the project Months 1 – 6 : SURVEY AND ANALYSIS The objective of this component is to map, in a sort of competences cartography, the possible actors of an Healthcare Economy Cluster in determined areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Hradec Kralové. Basilicata will provide a map of competences in healthcare structures. Intellectual property included. STATE OF ART: GUIDELINES AND QUESTIONNAIRES, READY; COMPETENCE CARTOGRAPHY, WORK IN PROGRESS Months 7 – 12 : INTEGRATED PROJECT DESIGN The objective of this component is to write and integrated project in healthcare economic cluster.

15 Integrated project priorities Preliminary feasibility of Healthcare Economic Clusters (HEC), based on human resource and capital availability analysis. Homogeneity of the HEC focuses among the participants regions (for example feasibility of Health ICT HEC in 2 or 3 regions, and then high level of possible synergies) Complementarities among regions (for example hospital needs in one region can be satisfied by industrial availability)
