Internationalisation
As part of its internationalisation programme, BIOPRO aims to strengthen Baden-Württemberg's position as a global location, promoting exchange and cooperation across state borders. We are creating a strong basis for sustainable cooperation through targeted measures such as developing networks, forming strategic partnerships and conducting international location marketing.
HACK-IT-NET - Innovations for sustainable healthcare in the Alpine region
is an Interreg project that brings together healthcare stakeholders to establish a multi-stakeholder community and create a forward-looking healthcare ecosystem in the Alpine region. The project focuses on two central themes: creating a digital and green healthcare ecosystem, and strengthening innovation transfer between stakeholders. BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg will contribute its expertise in sustainability and the transformation of the healthcare ecosystem.
PRECISEU - PeRsonalised medicine Empowerment Connecting Innovation ecoSystems across EUrope
The Horizon Europe project PRECISEU aims to accelerate the development of personalised medicine by networking innovation ecosystems in Europe. By sharing best practices and disseminating technology-based health innovations, particularly in the areas of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and health data, regional strengths will be utilised and cooperation promoted. The ultimate aim is to boost the efficiency of regional ecosystems and drive the digital and sustainable transformation of healthcare systems.
Thanks to BIOPRO's partnership in the EU project, Baden-Württemberg has also been awarded the European Commission's “Regional Innovation Valley” label.
UK-BW: Chances and challenges for the healthcare industry
The UK-BW Partnership Initiative is another example of our international focus. It aims to strengthen relations between Baden-Württemberg and the UK and open up opportunities for collaboration in the healthcare industry. We not only support companies from both regions, but also promote the establishment of long-term partnerships and cooperation models through joint events, such as Lunch&Learn or Meet&Match on specific healthcare topics.
Further measures
In addition to these projects, we also support targeted cooperation initiatives for international organisations and offer regular information events, such as DIS&CO Health, at which new market opportunities in countries such as Morocco are presented.
Other important formats include our Meet & Match events, at which companies and players in the healthcare sector are brought together in a targeted manner in order to identify synergies and initiate partnerships - in recent years, for example, in the area of gender medicine or the hospital of the future.
We also actively participate in international trade fairs and congresses, such as MEDICA in Düsseldorf, DMEA in Berlin and BioEurope, which is held at different locations.
Our aim is to further advance the healthcare of the future in Baden-Württemberg through international partnerships and innovative collaborations. Through the exchange of knowledge, the development of new technologies and cooperation between international partners, we create the basis for sustainable, innovative healthcare and at the same time strengthen the innovative power of the healthcare industry in Baden-Württemberg.
