UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITIES: THE VALUE OF THE DIGIT-PRE INNOVATION SUPPORT PROGRAMME FOR SMES
What is DIGIT PRE?
DIGIT-PRE (part of the I3 programme – Interregional, Investment, Innovation)is not just another project; it also stands as a powerful tool for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) seeking to bring their innovative healthcare products to market rapidly. The project uniquely focuses on consumer-facing solutions that target prevention, prediction, and remote care. It offers SMEs a personalized Innovation Support Program, which spans up to 15 months and provides access to funding and investor networks rooted in a digital framework with potential travel within the EU.
What does the Digit-Pre Innovation Support Programme offer?
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face opportunities and challenges in today’s dynamic business landscape. In addition to receiving financial support, here’s what we will offer for those selected for our programme:
🚀 Personalized Innovation Support: Your journey begins with a dedicated Key Account Manager (KAM) who assesses your innovation focus and performance, ensuring a strong start.
💡 Comprehensive Services: Gain access to regulatory advice, funding insights, market strategies, and networking opportunities to thrive in your unique context.
🌟 Real-World Validation: Test your prototypes in large-scale demonstrators and testbeds, perfect for refining innovations and enhancing market viability.
💰 Investment Guidance: Craft compelling pitches, explore funding opportunities, and participate in investor events with our KAMs by your side.
🌍 International Expansion: Discover European business opportunities through events, networking, and key stakeholder engagement.
🧠 Expertise at Your Fingertips: Benefit from consultations, mentoring, and expert evaluation panels, ensuring guidance at every step.
📈 Compelling Value Proposition: We’ll work closely with you to generate evidence supporting your unique value proposition, preparing you for negotiations and investment opportunities.
Although only a selected group of SMEs will benefit from our 15-month Innovation Support Programme, the long-term lessons and outcomes are also anticipated to be valuable and useful for other SMEs. For instance, the business model developed for the DIGIT-PRE EU – Value Network is expected to provide insights on creating, delivering, and capturing value. We aim to launch a sustainable EU value network that generates value through linked activities in supporting companies to be competitive and
sustainable.
