Construction of a regional centre in Slovenia in cooperation with domestic and international partners in the value chain
From 25M€ (for a one treatment room centre) to 200M€ (for a multi-room centre) we wish to construct a regional centre in Slovenia in collaboration with experienced proton therapy international partners (e.g. Varian, MedAustron and IBA)
After patients are treated, they can take advantage of the health benefits of the thermal spas and the beautiful, natural attractions of Slovenia.
Medical tourism from AUT, ITA, HUN, CRO etc. with high added value
Slovenia, as an EU member, gives non-European partners access to the EU market and allows participation in clinical research
Participation in this initiative opens the doors to selling such centres world wide
