European Commission has the pleasure to invite you to the workshop “How to improve the effectiveness of cross-border networks of ATI technology centres in the field of Smart Health” that will take place on Thursday 4th of March, from 9:00-12:30.

With contributions of DIH-HERO, East Netherlands

This event will be the fourth in a series of 4 workshops on cross-border networks of technology centres organised within the Advanced Technologies for Industry (ATI) project commissioned by EASME and the European Commission DG GROW. The project provides a systematic monitoring of technological trends and reliable, up-to-date data on advanced technologies to properly support the implementation of policies and initiatives and finally promote a competitive European industry.
The workshop will focus on how networks of technology centres can be more effective in satisfying the needs of stakeholders in the healthcare sector, and more precisely in the field of Smart Health, by implementing a value chain approach, being more reactive to market needs and including actors over the entire value chain.
