In a move to support European health startups, EIT Health has announced the launch of its ‘Bridgehead’ programme supported by the European Innovation Council, the first rollout of activity for its recently agreed pilot collaboration.
“We are happy that the EIT and EIC pilot collaboration is now stretching its wings via three new Horizon 2020 funded projects, among which is the ‘EIT-EIC CollabPilot’ coordinated by EIT Health. The collaboration will provide the opportunity to test synergies between organisations and programmes, exchange ideas, support the best innovators and entrepreneurs and reach out to local innovation communities. We look forward to collaborating with EIT Health,” says Jean-David Malo, Director of the European Innovation Council.
